Description

Life Synergy’s WSS Kit offers one time, hygienic, easy and ready to use experience for Snehana and Swedana karma.

The basic aim of Snehana and Swedana karma is to bring forth the vitiated doshas to an elimination form from their latent state. These are generally performed as a pre-procedure before major Panchakarma like Vaman or Virechan. The Snehan and Swedan can also be performed on a routine basis for keeping wellness.

Sarvanga Abhyanga is a preventive and curative technique in which medicated oils and ghritas are applied to the entire body as a massage. Sarvanga abhyanga is a detoxifying and therapeutic cellular therapy.

Snehan (Oleation)
Snehan means administering medicated oil into body by massage on affected portion and that’s how it’s called “Oleation”. With this therapy morbid toxins, can be easily eliminated from body as Snehan causes the deposition of toxins or doshas from organs or sites and help to eliminate.

Snehan on routine basis offers following benefits-

• it delays ageing
• relieves exertion and excess of vata (aches and pains).
• it improves blood circulation
• nourishes body tissues,
• induces good sleep
• improves skin tone and complexion.

Massage should be avoided when there is an increase of Kapha in the body, who have undergone Shodhana (purificatory therapies) and who are suffering from indigestion.
Swedan (Medicated steam)
Swedan is a therapy wherein heat is provided to the affected portion or whole body by steam or other media. The Herbal decoction is added to the steam which is thought to help excrete toxins from the body.
This therapy is usually given after Snehan. After 3-7 days of Snehan and Svedana, the doshas become well “ripened.” and Svedana liquefies the toxins and increases the movement of toxins into the gastrointestinal tract so it is used as a pre-procedure for major procedures like Vaman and Virechan.

In short with Swedan, doshas move to selective places in body from where they can be expelled easily from the body.
