Swedana is a deeply relaxing and healing Ayurvedic therapy that uses the power of warmth and medicated steam to open the body’s channels, encourage the release of toxins, and promote circulation. By inducing gentle sweating, Swedana soothes the muscles and joints, relieves stiffness and pain and enhances the effectiveness of other treatments. It is especially beneficial for treating chronic conditions, improving flexibility and bringing a deep sense of lightness and rejuvenation to the body and mind.
At Sanjivani Ayurveda, we offer specialized forms of Swedana tailored to your unique needs. Podikizhi utilizes warm herbal powders wrapped in cloth boluses to reduce inflammation and ease pain, while Elai Kizhi applies medicinal herbal leaves, steamed and bundled to soothe aching muscles and stiff joints. Navara Kizhi nourishes and strengthens the tissues with a warm bolus of Navara rice cooked in milk and herbs — perfect for neuromuscular disorders and rejuvenation. Our luxurious Pizhichil therapy combines a continuous stream of warm herbal oils with gentle massage creating a profoundly restorative experience that calms the nerves, enhances circulation and promotes complete relaxation and healing.
