Ishtika Sveda Treatment

What are we up to at Lakshmi Ayurveda today?

We have been preparing for a specialised Ayurvedic treatment called Ishtika Sveda Treatment - Isthtika is a Sanskrit word for brick and sveda is a sudation/ sweat inducing treatment.

Ayurveda uses this unique method in the treatment of heel spurs and plantar fasciitis 

Today we prepared a rice water decoction for a client. The process of this treatment is as follows:

1. We first have the client sit comfortably in a chair

1. A foot, leg and calf massage will be performed using an herbal oil prescribed by the practitioner. Our client will use Pinda Thailam today.

1. We heat the bricks and place them on a tray.

1. We pour the liquid decoction over the hot brick to create steam.

1. The client will place their food parallel to the hot brick for steam.

1. This is done for about 15 minutes in duration.

Wishing you a great day ✨
