How Effective Is Steam Bath Treatment in Ayurveda for Detox and Weight Loss? - #13162
I have recently heard about steam bath treatment in Ayurveda, which is said to help in detoxification, weight loss, and improving circulation. Unlike modern sauna baths, Ayurvedic steam therapy, also called Swedana, is believed to open the pores, release toxins, and balance the Vata and Kapha doshas. I want to understand how frequently steam bath treatment should be done for long-term health benefits. Does it also help with joint pain, respiratory issues, and stress relief? Also, which herbal decoctions or essential oils are added to the steam to enhance its healing effects? If anyone has tried steam bath treatment, please share your experience. Did it help in relaxation, detox, or weight loss? Also, are there any precautions to keep in mind, especially for people with high blood pressure or skin sensitivity?
