Swedana (Sudation therapy) is a cornerstone of Ayurvedic purification and palliative care. Defined as the process that induces sweating to relieve stiffness, heaviness, and coldness, it is classically used as a prerequisite for Panchakarma(detoxification) or as a standalone therapy for musculoskeletal and neurological disorders. This review explores the physiological mechanisms of Swedana, its various classifications—from traditional Sa-agni (with fire) to modern sauna equivalents—and its contemporary relevance in managing lifestyle-driven inflammatory conditions and metabolic syndrome.
