SWEDANA - Ayurvedic Sweat induced Detox

At Herbal Heal, we provide essential pre-operative procedures that are vital in several Ayurvedic detox therapies like Panchakarma. Prior to treatment, the channels of the body are dilated, resulting in the removal of toxins from the muscle tissues by expelling them through the pores of the skin as sweat.

Swedana or sweat/fomentation is the process of perspiration using steam that exudes from Ayurvedic concoctions. Swedana is classified into two - Bashpa Sweda and Naadi Sweda. In the former, the client is seated in a steam chamber and fomentation is carried out. Naadi Sweda is a more penetrating process of inducing sweat in a person’s body. It is performed using a tube that is administered to the skin and joints.

After the application of medicated oils throughout the body, the client’s eyes are covered with a cloth, and the head is covered with a wet cotton pad. Fomentation is carried out until the forehead and abdomen fully perspires. Once the procedure is complete, the client has to shower in hot water and has to eat light, warm food after an hour.
