ABSTRACT

Sudation therapy is a type of Swedana that causes the body to sweat, which reduces stiffness, heaviness, and coldness. Excessive perspiration is a common side effect of sudation therapy. Sudation therapy is generally associated with a steam bath, although it is a treatment and a daily practice in Ayurveda. Swedana medications created by Ushna and Tikshna guna can enter the microcirculatory channels (Srotas) and activate sweat glands to produce more heat. Swedana Karma hastens this process by increasing capillary permeability and transferring morbidities to extracellular fluid through dilation and cleansing of the body's channels. Swedana karma regulates the body's temperature by ensuring that the core temperature (the temperature within the body) and the shell temperature (the temperature outside the body) are in balance (skin temp). Physiotherapy modes can be associated with many modalities of Swedana Karma (sudation treatment) recounted in our classics. Swedana (Sudation Therapy) is a technique for increasing sweat production. The goal of this study is to get a fundamental understanding of physiotherapy, including its forms, indications, contraindications, and actions in relation to the Swedana (Sudation) procedures described in the Ayurvedic Classics. Keywords- Sudation therapy, Physiotherapy, Sweating, Swedana karma etc.
