$110.00

Valuka Swedana (Sweda) is a very effective treatment in Ayurveda and is usually performed after Abhyanga and Snehana treatments. Valuku translates to sand while Sweda translates to sweat-inducing.

In this therapy, heated sand is used to make painful body parts swell. This process is called fomentation. Valuka Sweda is most effective for conditions characterized by swelling, heaviness, and stiffness. It can be performed on a specific part of the body or the whole body itself.
