Avagaha Sweda

Avagaha means 'submerged' in Sanskrit. During Avagaha Sweda treatment, the patient is made to sit in neck- or navel-deep warm water, medicated with herbal extracts. The level of water in the tub used for this is decided by a vaidyan (Ayurvedic doctor), depending upon the patient's health and the body part being treated.

Warm water is regularly replenished to maintain the temperature in the tub. To prevent dehydration, the treatment is stopped as soon as the patient starts perspiring. The entire procedure lasts around 20 minutes. Avagaha Sweda is commonly prescribed for the treatment of Vata-related issues. It loosens vitiated doshas in the body and is also a great way to unwind. This therapy is highly recommended for patients suffering from rheumatism, hernia, and other related ailments.
