Elakizhi patra pinda swedam
Pinda Swedam or Fomentation Therapy
Swedam, also known as fomentation, is an essential Ayurvedic therapeutic procedure offered at Dhanvantari Ayurvedic Center in Al Nahda, Dubai , aimed at relieving body stiffness, heaviness, and coldness. This therapy is considered a Poorva karma (preparatory step) for Panchakarma , the traditional detoxification process in Ayurveda. It involves applying heat to the body using various methods such as steam, warm liquids, dry heat, medicated pastes, or heated bundles—each tailored to the individual’s dosha and condition.
One of the most effective forms of Elakizhi treatment in Dubai we offer is Pinda Swedam , also referred to as Kizhi or Potli Swedam . This therapy falls under the category of Tapa Sweda (direct heat application) and is among the 13 types of fomentation therapies described by Acharya Charaka, known collectively as Sankara Swedam .
Key Components of Patra Pinda Swedam in Dubai at Dhanvantari Ayurvedic Center
Depending on the patient’s specific health condition, the contents of the Pinda or Potli (medicated bundle) are carefully selected by our experienced Ayurvedic practitioners. The treatment can be administered in two main ways:
Ruksha (dry) : Without oil, often used for Kapha -dominant conditions.
Snigdha (unctuous) : After Abhyanga (oil massage), typically recommended for Vata -related disorders.
Procedure of Pinda Swedam at Dhanvantari Ayurvedic Center
Our expert therapists at Dhanvantari Ayurvedic Center in Al Nahda, Dubai , follow a systematic and holistic approach to administering Pinda Swedam, ensuring optimal results and comfort.
1. Purvakarma (Pre-Procedural Preparation)
The patient is comfortably seated with legs extended. A herbal paste (Thalam ) Herbal bolus therapy Dubai may be applied to the crown of the head to induce relaxation. If a Snigdha Pinda Swedam is prescribed, a gentle Abhyanga (medicated oil massage) is performed beforehand.
2. Pradhana Karma (Main Procedure)
The Pinda is filled with the appropriate medicinal ingredients and heated in the prescribed oil. The therapist tests the temperature on their hand before gently massaging the affected areas with the hot bundle in a synchronized manner. This deeply penetrating heat helps relieve stiffness, pain, and tension.
3. Paschat Karma (Post-Treatment Care)
After the session, excess oil is wiped off the body, and the patient is wrapped in a blanket for 10–15 minutes to allow the therapeutic effects to settle. A shower is advised only after 48 minutes (one Muhurtha ) to complete the cleansing process.
