“Swedana” refers to the process of inducing sweating for therapeutic purposes in Ayurveda. It helps in detoxification, improving circulation, relaxing muscles, and relieving stiffness.

There are two common types of Swedana:

Valukapotali

– It is a therapeutic massage using herbal powders. It helps in reducing excess body
fat, improving skin texture, and boosting metabolism.This treatment involves fomentation
with heated sand bags. It is utilized to address localized pain, improve joint mobility, and
alleviate muscle stiffness.

Isthika swedanum – It is a traditional method which involves fomentation using bricks. In
this process, a brick is heated until it turns red hot. Then, a container of rice kanji
(fermented rice gruel) is placed over it. The patient sits on a stool, keeping a safe
distance from the hot brick. Steam is produced when we pour the rice kanji onto the hot
brick, and the patient benefits from this steam-based fomentation. This technique is
particularly beneficial for addressing heel pain and is commonly used in Ayurvedic
treatments for Vatakantaka (calcaneal spur).

Udvartanam

Popularly also known as weight loss massage is a stimulating massage using special herbal powder
to reduce cellulite accumulations, improve circulation and enhance your skin’s texture and
appearance. We thoroughly exfoliate your body using a powerful mixture of Ayurvedic powders
which will break up fatty deposits and energize blood circulation. A delightful body treatment to
remove excess heat from your body, enhancing circulation and drawing fresh energy to the
surface of the skin

The treatment is good for diseases like diabetic neuropathy, paralysis, obesity, skincare, sciatica, indigestion and sclerosis of blood vessels. The massage activates the nerves and increases blood flow to the impaired parts of the body. Udvartanam is also
an important health preserving massage. As the massage promotes active blood flow, it revitalizes and reconditions the body, thus preserving its strength, skin texture, and natural elasticity. Fat reduction is one of the significant benefits in cases of obesity. ‘Triphala’, is the most commonly used powder in the treatment. It is a mixture of excellent nerve stimulating agents such as Gooseberry, Belerica, and Myrobalan. The medicated powder is applied all over the body and massage is done in the oppositedirection of the hair roots, with appropriate pressure. Extra massage is provided on specific parts of the body depending on the type of the disease.The massage goes on
for about 30 to 40 minutes. During this time, the body surface slightly warms up and expels traces of toxic coatings on its nerve endings. This facilitates faster nerve stimulation and blood circulation to the damaged areas of the body. Udvartanam also promotes elasticity of the skin and makes the body soft and fatigue free.The duration and type of medicine to be used are decided by the physician after considering various related factors such as the person’s body constituency, his digestive capacity, psychic state, age, strength etc. Herbal medicines like Kashayam (decoction), Gulika (pills), and Choornam (powder) are also given along with the massage. Usually, one to two weeks treatment, along with strict carbo-less diet gives good results.Other herbs commonly used for udvartanam are costus roots,deodar,Senna,horse gram,phyllanthus and mustard. Horse gram and mustard, considered to be hot in nature are very good nerve stimulators.
