Swedana (Steam Bath)

Duration : 15 Minutes

How it is performed

Swedana is an Ayurvedic steam therapy where the body is subjected to warm herbal steam after being massaged with herbal oils. The steam may be applied through a steam chamber, localized steam, or herbal poultices depending on the need.

How it works

The warmth of the herbal steam penetrates deeply into the tissues, relaxing muscles, improving circulation, and flushing out toxins. It also enhances the absorption of herbal oils applied during Abhyanga, allowing their healing properties to reach deeper layers of the body.

Health Benefits

Swedana helps manage stiffness, joint pain, and fatigue while promoting detoxification and rejuvenation. With the help of steam, the therapeutic oils penetrate from the skin all the way to the bone marrow, nourishing the body at its deepest level and restoring vitality.
