Every ayurvedic treatment must be done only by skilled ayurvedic professionals. Depending on the nature of the illness and the treatment modality, herbal steam bath might be prescribed by Ayush Ayurveda Singapore. In the modern world which is extremely fast-paced and where pollution is rampant, this therapy is a great way to detox and purge the body of any harmful toxins or ama. It also helps rejuvenate the mind and relaxes the body. The skin, being the largest organ in the body, allows the toxins to escape in the form of sweat. This practice is called swedana in Ayurveda. Sweating is a great way to help reduce the load on the liver and kidneys as well. There are thousands of micro channels on the surface of the skin which help break down any accumulation of lymph or ama in the body and removes it via sweat glands. By hastening this process, detoxification is absolute. The perfect herbal steam bath is a speciality in itself at Ayush Ayurvedic Singapore.
Herbal steam bath involves steaming the body with a number of herbs and leaves which have medicinal benefits. Depending on the nature of the body, the dosha type and the illness being treated, the ayurvedic practitioner chooses the right combination of herbs for the treatment. These herbs in boiling water provide a therapeutic steam which is where the patient’s body is allowed to rest. When exposed to this steam, the body sweats profusely indicating the treatment is working. This therapy is usually done following Abhyangam or oil massage, however, it can be done post most ayurvedic treatments as it helps seal in the effects while removing any unnecessary toxins from the body as well. Herbal steam bath treatment at Ayush Ayurveda Singapore also provides a number of benefits to both mental and physical health, making it a holistic and wholesome treatment option.
