Swedhana, steam bath
According to Ayurveda, each massage should be followed up with heat in order to help the oil penetrate into the deep tissues. Steam is soft because it contains water, and head & neck must be out of the steam box, because they should not be heated.
Lavender steam or other herbs from our valley will help you perspire. The session ends when the person is sweating on the forehead. This is a very pleasant moment indeed.

It disloges toxins, brings Prana (vital energy) into the physical and pranic bodies. It harmonizes the doshas (ayurvedic constitutions). It relieves tensions, nourrishes and stimulates the 7 dhathus (tissues) thanks to deep massage.
It includes digipressure on marma points, along the "nadis".

– A back massage with medicinal oil and the kansu bowl, it removescongestion, relieves tensions of the lower back, shoulders and neck.
Kati Basti
Kati basti is a medicinal oil treatment for relieving tensions of the lower back.
The patient lays down on their stomach, a ring is fixed on their back with a paste made of a special flour and water. The therapist poors very warm oil inside the circle, this sesame-based oil relieve all tensions and will penetrate deep into Ashti dhathu (the bone tiissues). The therapist must keep the oil very warm for 30 mn after which the patient receives a short massage with the same oil. A complete massage followed by a steam bath is highly recommended.
