SWEDANA: The Herbal Steam Bath for Detoxification and Relaxation
Swedana is an Ayurvedic therapy that involves the use of steam generated from medicated herbal decoctions to promote detoxification and relaxation. The steam is induced in a box, and the patient sits in the box to allow the steam to penetrate their skin. The heat and humidity from the steam help open the pores, allowing the body to release toxins, excess water, and impurities.
Swedana is a simple therapy that involves inducing sweat with the help of steam. The patient sits in a steam box, and the therapist pours medicated herbal decoctions over the hot stones placed in the box. The steam generated from these decoctions helps in inducing sweat and detoxifying the body. The therapy typically lasts for 15-20 minutes, depending on the patient’s tolerance.
