Heat treatments (Svedana)
The therapeutic use of heat opens the pores in the skin. Thus impurities get eliminated through sweat. Svedana is especially beneficial after an Abhanga massage. It helps to absorb the medical properties of the herbal oil and the cleansing effect will be enhanced. The skin gets soft and clean.
Normally the patient lies on a wooden bed, covered with a lid, specially designed for Svedana. The head lies free. Warm, soothing herbal steam, coming from a pot underneath, envelops you and deeply relaxes body and mind.
Herbal inhalation
The inhalation of herbal steam relieves the respiratory organs and sinuses. It also dissolves toxins and loosens tensions in the area of the head.
