ABSTRACT Swedanam is a therapy which alleviates stiffness, heaviness, coldness & that which brings out sweating from the system is sudation therapy. The perspiration brought about by the sudation therapy is more than the normal. Conventionally the sudation therapy is just understood as the steam bath, but sudation in Ayurveda is something more as a treatment & as a daily routine. Swedana drugs by Ushna and Tikshnaguna are capable of penetrating the microcirculatory channels (Srotas) where they activate the sweat glands to produce mores heat. Swedana Karma hastens this process by increasing the permeability of capillary and bringing the morbidities into an extracellular fluid by dilating and clearing the channels of the body. Swedanakarma maintains the thermoregulation system of the body by maintaining quilibrium between core temperature (temp. inside the body) and shell temperature (skin temp). KEYWORDS: Swedana karma, Sudation therapy, Sweating. INTRODUCTION Sweating treatment (Swedana) is usually Swedana Guna (properties) and its action of body given after oleation- Snehana therapy.

  • Sudation): a Clinical Application of Heat Stress
    Brief Communication Scientific exploration on physiological basis of Svedana Karma (Sudation): A clinical application of heat stress. Saurabh Yadav1, Vandana Verma2, Abhinav3 1Assistant professor, Himalayiya Ayurvedic P.G. Medical College& Hospital,Dehradun, India. 2Assistant professor, Department of KriyaSharir, Faculty of Ayurveda, Institute of Medical Science,Varanasi, India. 3Assistant professor, Department of KayaChikitsa, Faculty of Ayurveda, Institute of Medical Science,Varanasi, India. ABSTRACT Now researchers have focused attention on exploring the mechanism of acute responses of heat stress given in heat therapy that ultimately promotes the long term health benefits. Heat therapy is not a new idea rather it was practiced since thousands years back in the form of hot bath, sauna bath, steam room. Similarly in Ayurveda there is very comprehensive description of heat therapy in the form of Svedan karma (Sudation therapy). Svedan is a process to induce sweating artificially in a patient who had already undergone Snehan. Svedan is applied for purification of body, as well as in management of various disorders originated due to vitiation of Vata, Kapha Dosha, Meda Dhatu and musculoskeletal disorders. It produces various beneficial effects by augmenting the Agni like clears the channels, liquefies the deposited Dosha, regulates Vata Dosha, helps in removal and pacification of Dosha, augments metabolism (Agni Deepan), increases appetite, flexibility in body parts, softness and shining of skin, removes coldness, stiffness, drowsiness, improves joint motility. However, Svedana karma is vastly used by Ayurveda Physicians in treatment of various disorders but the mechanisms of beneficial effects produced by Svedan Karma are yet not completely explored on scientific basis. In this article, we will discuss and try to establish a possible mechanism of action of Svedana karma in relation to heat stress, mitochondrial adaptation, heat shock protein (HSP) and glucocorticoids as these are secreted under stressful conditions.

    S. et al. Journal of Ethnic Foods (2019) 6:14 Journal of Ethnic Foods https://doi.org/10.1186/s42779-019-0016-4 REVIEW ARTICLE Open Access Traditional methods of food habits and dietary preparations in Ayurveda—the Indian system of medicine Dhanya S.*, Ramesh N V and Abhayakumar Mishra Abstract Ayurveda (the science of life) is one of the branches of Vedas. It is regarded as upaveda of Atharva Veda. It is a steam of knowledge coming down from generation to generation since eternity parallel to Vedic literature which is why its emergence has been said to be from the creator (Brahman) himself prior to the creation. It is taken as eternal because nobody knows when it was not there. In Ayurveda, food is considered to affect the mind as well as the body. By understanding how to prepare foods best suited to our minds and bodies, we can utilize nutrition as a source of healing. Food is the most essential to sustain a good life and the same food if consumed inappropriately becomes the root cause of many diseases. So, proper knowledge about food and its importance should be known by all human beings to have better benefits from it. Keywords: Nutrition, Anna, Yusha, Takra, Ahara, Sattvic diet 1.
