While observing the treatment modalities which Ayurveda says are all based on sudation in different types. Nadi swedana, jentaka swedana, bashpa swedana etc. All the treatments consist of Sudation with or without Oleation. The <\/span><a title=\"swedanam therapy\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ayurvedicvillage.com\/swedhanam-treatment\/\"><b>swedanam therapy<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is thermal eustress. The heat stress eventually decreases the cardiac output, which sends stimulus to the medullary cerebrovascular Control Center which in turn affects muscle &amp; skin vasoconstriction. This increases the internal circulation by which the cardiac output is optimized. This leads to perspiration as a result of Sudation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0Application of heat by various methods at a diseased site or throughout the entire body such that it causes perspiration is called sudation (Swedanam). Many are the means &amp; methods. Heat can be applied directly (<\/span><b>Nadi Swedam<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) or indirectly (<\/span><b>Patra Swedam<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), it can be dry or wet, with or without instruments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 It is usual to mix snehana (Oleation) &amp; swedanam (Sudation) and to proceed with purificatory procedures thereafter. Anyhow, there occurs a total cleaning of the entire system by which those diseases which can be eliminated by these means can be fully cured.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The entire wastes to be eliminated may be divided into two: water-soluble wastes &amp; fat-soluble. By doing <strong><a title=\"Sudation Treatment\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ayurvedicvillage.com\/swedhanam-treatment\/\">Sudation Treatment<\/a><\/strong>, the water-soluble wastes of the body are dissolved in water, propelled by the heat &amp; brought to the nearest port for elimination. For fat-soluble wastes, the Sneha dissolves the wastes in a fat medium, these are propelled by swedana to the nearest port of elimination. That is by the administration of Swedanam, the waste trapped or localized in the body both at superficial &amp; deep levels is expelled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Agni ayurvedic village offers an authentic way of Swedana kriya along with snehana karma (Oleation), which helps in opening the pores, by which the thermoregulation takes place, along with it clears the waste accumulated in the body.
