SWEDANA

Swedana is a process to induce sweating artificially in a patient who had already undergone Snehana,etc.The heat is generated directly (saagni) or indirectly (niragni).Swedana liquifies the doshas,clears the obstruction of channels of circulation and directs the doshasto selective places from where they can be expelled easily.

Swedanam therapy is very helpful in liquefying the sticky and adherent doshas which have become deposited in the peripheral tissues of our skin. If swedanam is done in the proper way, it will soften and melt these toxins in an optimal manner for the body to effectively expel them with the assistance of the pradhanakarmas (main therapies). The swedanam process opens up the pores on our skin and helps the body to get rid of the impurities of our body through the sweat glands. It is effective in obesity, various types of joint pains and stiffness of muscles.
