Sweda Vidhi (Sudation)

Introduction

Sveda means sweat which is the mala through which pitta is eliminated.

The therapies which help in producing perspiration are called Svedana.

Sudation, fomentation are the words used with same meaning in this context  

In Svedana, certain procedures are done to dilate the Srotas and to make the body sweat.

This is done after Sneha therapy.

Svedana works in conjunction with Sneha to facilitate the removal of ama and mala from the Srotas and Dhatus and to transport them back to the kosha (Gastrointestinal tract).

It can be done in specific parts or all over the body It is mainly indicated for Kapha and Vata diseases.
