SWEDAN - STEAM THERAPY

"Swedana" in Ayurveda refers to steam therapy or sweating therapy. Steam therapy is commonly used in Ayurveda to promote sweating and facilitate the elimination of toxins from the body. It is considered a valuable therapeutic tool for various health conditions. Here are some common types of Swedana treatments in Ayurveda: 1. Bashpa Swedana (Steam Bath): This involves sitting in a chamber filled with herbal steam. The heat helps to open up the pores, promotes sweating, and aids in the elimination of toxins. 2. Nadi Swedana (Local Steam): In this method, steam is directed to a specific area of the body, usually over joints or muscles, to alleviate pain and stiffness. 3. Pinda Swedana (Herbal Bolus Bag Massage): This involves massaging the body with boluses filled with a combination of herbs, rice, or sand. The boluses are heated and applied to the body, helping to relieve muscle tension and improve circulation. 4. Patra Pinda Swedana (Leaf Bundle Massage): Similar to Pinda Swedana, but the boluses are filled with medicinal leaves and herbs. The choice of Swedana treatment depends on the individual's constitution, health condition, and the specific imbalance that needs to be addressed.
