Pinda Sweda (Herbal Bolus Therapy)
Experience the healing power of warm herbal poultices to relieve muscle pain, improve circulation, reduce stiffness, and rejuvenate your body through authentic Ayurvedic therapy.
Introduction
Pinda Sweda is one of Ayurveda's most effective heat therapies. During this treatment, warm herbal poultices filled with medicinal herbs are gently massaged over the body. The therapeutic heat allows the herbal ingredients to penetrate deeply into the muscles and joints, promoting circulation, relieving pain, reducing inflammation, and restoring mobility.
At Praana Ayurvedic Boutique Hotel, each Pinda Sweda treatment is personalized by our experienced Ayurvedic therapists using carefully selected Sri Lankan herbs and traditional preparation methods.
