How Effective Is Steam Bath Therapy in Ayurveda for Detox and Relaxation? - #13078
I recently heard about steam bath therapy in Ayurveda and how it helps in detoxifying the body, improving blood circulation, and relieving stress. I am curious to know how it works and whether it provides real health benefits beyond just relaxation. From what I understand, Ayurvedic steam bath therapy, also known as Swedana, involves exposing the body to herbal steam, which helps in opening up the pores and eliminating toxins. But I have a few questions before trying it. Does steam bath therapy help with joint pain, muscle recovery, or respiratory issues? Also, how often should it be done for maximum benefits, and are there any precautions for people with conditions like high blood pressure or skin sensitivity? If anyone has experienced steam bath therapy, please share your insights. Did it help with stress relief, skin improvement, or weight loss? Also, which Ayurvedic herbs are best for enhancing the effectiveness of steam therapy?
