About Upanaham
A classical sudation treatment that relies on prolonged, trapped heat. It is particularly effective for softening hard, calcified tissues and deeply stubborn Vata structural blockages.
When Upanaham may — and may not — be appropriate
May be appropriate for
- Osteoarthritis, chronic joint contractures, frozen joints, and localized non-inflammatory swelling.
When it should NOT be done
- Varicose veins in the immediate area, burning sensations, and acute gouty attacks.
The decision is always individualised by your treating physician.
What to Expect During Upanaham
Deep, long-lasting joint warmth, relief from deep bone-deep aches, and noticeably improved flexibility the next morning.
