Pinda Sweda is a unique treatment offered by The Ayurvedic Wellness Centre that combines massage and sweat therapy. Using the standard heat and oil process at the core of the majority of Ayurvedic massage treatments, Pinda Sweda also uses ‘rice puddings’ or medicinal rice cooked with herbs and bundled into soft cotton to create heat-holding boluses.
This treatment is usually recommended for the aching joints and muscles commonly associated with arthritic conditions, back pain and muscle stiffness. It can also be used to delay the ageing process and help manage and treat:
- Insomnia
- Multiple sclerosis
- Muscle weakness and paralysis
- Reduction in stress and insomnia
- Soothe and restore dry skin
- Stress relief
- Management of inflammation, swelling and pain
