Bandhana in Ayurveda refers to the traditional practice of applying bandages or specialized dressings to support the healing of injuries, fractures, wounds and sprains. It is an ancient therapeutic technique that aims to stabilize the affected area, reduce pain and inflammation, prevent further damage and facilitate natural healing. Bandhana is carefully customized according to the severity and location of the injury, using appropriate materials such as herbal pastes and medicated oils for optimal results.
This practice not only aids in physical recovery but also improves circulation, provides comfort and promotes faster restoration of mobility. Bandhana is commonly used alongside other Ayurvedic therapies like snehana (oleation) and swedana (sudation) to enhance the healing process. By ensuring proper support and immobilization, Bandhana plays a vital role in the successful management of musculoskeletal conditions and soft-tissue injuries in Ayurveda.
