Ayurvedic Steam bath
Ayurvedic Steam Bath (Swedana) is a therapy where herbal steam is directed over the body to induce sweating.
An Ayurvedic steam bath, known as Bashpa Swedana, is a simple yet powerful therapy designed to cleanse the body of accumulated toxins. This treatment induces gentle sweating through the use of herbal steam, helping to purify and rejuvenate the body from within. It is often performed after an Ayurvedic massage as part of the body’s cleansing and detoxification process.
During the therapy, the body is exposed to steam infused with medicinal herbs inside a steam chamber. The herbal oils and decoctions used possess unique properties that help balance the Doshas (the body’s primary functional energies — Vata, Pitta, and Kapha). By removing toxins and restoring Doshabalance, the therapy promotes overall health and harmony.
