Herbal Steam Treatments

Localized Application or Whole Body Steam Chamber

Science of Steam

 

The steam is an excellent tool to relax, detox and relief stiffness. It helps to open up channels in the body and improve detoxing. The heat helps to open up airways and relive congestion.

The wet heat from the steam room thins and opens the mucous membranes in the body, which helps to relieve pressure.

Swedana is performed in combination with other Ayurveda treatments, and not on its own.
