What is Churna Pinda Sweda?

Churna Pinda Sweda is a therapeutic sweating procedure where herbal powders bundled in linen bags (Pottali) are heated and massaged over the body.

Why is Churna Pinda Sweda Recommended?

Inflammatory joint conditions with swelling, heaviness, and Ama accumulation require dry, hot fomentation to digest local toxins.

Therapeutic Mode of Action

  • Deep Thermal Fomentation: Fomentation heat penetrates deep into swollen joints.
  • Ama Digestion: Dry herbal powders absorb excess fluid and resolve inflammation.
  • Eases Joint Stiffness: Relieves morning joint stiffness dramatically.

Clinical Indications
