Description
Valuka Sweda is a specialized Ayurvedic fomentation therapy using heated sand. 'Valuka' means sand and 'Sweda' means sweat. This treatment involves massaging the body with warm boluses (pouches) filled with clean, processed sand, often mixed with specific pain-relieving herbal powders.
As a form of dry heat therapy (Ruksha Sweda), Valuka Sweda is exceptionally effective for conditions where inflammation is associated with fluid retention or stiffness (Ama conditions). At Ojani Ayurveda Wellness Center, Dr. Reethu recommends this therapy for deep-seated pain like that from rheumatoid arthritis, offering our guests a powerful, natural alternative for managing chronic discomfort.
