Whether this therapy is right for you is a physician's decision
About Swedanam
The universal sweat-inducing therapy in Ayurveda. It dilates the body's subtle channels (Srotas), liquefies deep-seated toxins, and guides them toward the gastrointestinal tract for elimination.
When Swedanam may — and may not — be appropriate
May be appropriate for
- Generalized body stiffness, toxin accumulation, obesity, chronic respiratory congestion, and poor circulation.
When it should NOT be done
- Severe dizziness, uncontrolled hypertension, pregnancy, active bleeding, and high Pitta conditions.
The decision is always individualised by your treating physician.
What to Expect During Swedanam
Profuse full-body sweating, rapid relief from muscle tension, and a strong sense of physical lightness.
