Swedana at Prem & Yoga Ayurveda | Ayurvedic Herbal Steam Therapy
Swedana at Prem & Yoga Ayurveda is a classical Ayurvedic therapy that involves inducing therapeutic sweating to detoxify the body and promote deep relaxation. It is commonly performed after Abhyanga (oil massage) to enhance the absorption of herbal oils and support the elimination of toxins (ama).
This therapy is carried out using herbal steam or sauna methods, where the body is exposed to warm, medicinal vapors that gently open the pores and stimulate circulation.
About Swedana
In Ayurveda, Swedana is used to reduce stiffness, loosen toxins, and balance aggravated Vata and Kapha doshas. The warmth generated during the therapy helps soften tissues, improve circulation, and encourage detoxification through sweating.
Swedana is especially beneficial for relieving muscular tension, joint discomfort, respiratory congestion, and stress-related imbalances.
