Hillot

Hillot is a term that appears sporadically in English-language sources and does not have a single, widely recognized definition. It is most often encountered as a misspelling or variant spelling of hilot, a traditional Filipino healing practice.

Hilot refers to a family of massage-based techniques used in the Philippines, historically administered by midwives and traditional healers. Practices may include oil massage, warming applications, and manual techniques intended to relieve muscle tension and restore balance. In some traditions, hilot also encompasses beliefs about energy flow, posture correction, and bone alignment. In modern contexts, hilot-type therapies appear in both traditional settings and as spa or wellness services.

Because hillot lacks a distinct, universally accepted definition, there is no canonical article or widely cited source dedicated to the term, and there is no single organization, place, or concept universally associated with it. The term’s usage is largely contingent on context and transliteration choices.
