Ayurveda specializes in detox. Some of the detoxification treatments involve a mild sweating action to help open the physical channels of the body and help to push out the toxins.
Swedana
A swedana or herbal steam and sweat bath is a popular treatment. This treatment is performed in a wooden box in which one relaxes with the head sticking out. Ayurveda suggests that the head remain cool. The rest of the body is surrounded by warm, moist, herbal steam. The heat increases circulation, alleviates sore joints and muscles, and helps to the body to sweat.
Udvartana
Another Ayurvedic treatment for weight loss and weight management is Udvartana. This is an Ayurvedic cellulite busting therapy. Udvartana can be used for weight loss, rejuvenation, to improve the complexion and exfoliation of the skin. Udvartana massage which is friction massage using herbal paste tones the skin, removes cellulite, loosens fat molecules and eliminates them from the sub-cutaneous level.
