Nadi Swedana is a type of Ayurvedic therapy in which the body is exposed to steam from medicated herbal decoctions. The steam is directed towards specific areas of the body or certain organs, and is believed to help cleanse the body, improve circulation, and reduce muscle tension.
The procedure for Nadi Swedana begins with the patient being seated or lying down on a comfortable table or bed. The therapist then prepares a herbal decoction by boiling a mixture of medicinal herbs in water. The steam from the boiling decoction is directed towards specific areas of the patient’s body using tubes or pipes. The therapist may also use a special hand-held device to direct the steam towards specific points on the body. The steam is usually warm, but not hot, and the patient may feel some sweating and an increase in heart rate as the treatment progresses. The treatment typically lasts for 20-30 minutes, and may be repeated several times over the course of a treatment plan. After the treatment, the patient may be advised to rest and drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins from the body.
