Swedana Therapy (Herbal Steam Therapy)
At Swasthyam Ayurved Clinic, we offer Swedana, a traditional Ayurvedic therapy that involves inducing sweat through herbal steam. This process aids in detoxification, enhances circulation, and balances the body’s doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), promoting overall well-being.
What is Swedana?
Derived from the Sanskrit word ‘Swid,’ meaning ‘to sweat,’ Swedana is a therapeutic practice that uses herbal steam to open up the body’s channels, facilitating the elimination of toxins. It’s commonly used as a preparatory step in Panchakarma treatment, helping to loosen and mobilize toxins for easier removal.
Benefits of Swedana Therapy
- Detoxification: Encourages the elimination of toxins through sweat, cleansing the body from within.
- Improved Circulation: The heat dilates blood vessels, enhancing blood flow and oxygen delivery to tissues.
- Muscle and Joint Relief: Alleviates stiffness, pain, and inflammation in muscles and joints.
- Stress Reduction: Promotes relaxation, reduces anxiety, and calms the nervous system.
- Skin Health: Open pores and promote a healthy, glowing complexion.
- Enhanced Digestion: Stimulates the digestive fire (Agni), improving metabolism and nutrient absorption.
Swedana at Swasthyam Ayurved Clinic
Our Swedana therapy involves seating the individual in a specially designed steam chamber, where herbal steam envelops the body, inducing perspiration. The head remains outside the chamber to prevent overheating. The duration and specific herbs used are tailored to each individual’s constitution and health needs.

- Arthritis and joint disorders
