In a Swedana ayurveda therapy in Dubai, the procedure begins with the application of herbal oil to the body, tailored to the individual’s dosha (Ayurvedic body type) and specific health conditions. This warm oil helps open the pores and prepares the skin for the steam therapy that follows. The herbal steam is created using medicinal plant decoctions known for their detoxifying and healing properties. The patient is positioned comfortably, typically seated or lying down, while the herbal steam is directed to envelop the body. To ensure comfort and prevent overheating, the head and eyes are shielded, often with a cool, damp cloth placed on the forehead. This therapeutic steam application continues until the patient begins to perspire profusely, facilitating the release of toxins through the skin. After the session, the individual is encouraged to take a warm shower to rinse off any remaining oils and impurities. To conclude, a light, easily digestible meal is recommended about an hour later, supporting the body’s natural processes and replenishing energy post-treatment.
