Pinda Sweda – An ancient Healing Massage for Pain Relief
Modern lifestyle is not in accordance with the natural way of living and that usually has a negative effect on your health.
One of the most common problems is unnatural sitting posture.
It causes lower back pain, stiff neck, shoulder pain, muscle contraction and reduced joint mobility.
Pina Sweda, an ancient ayurvedic massage, is effective in treating this problem.
Abhyanga, a relaxing massage with warm oil is performed before performing Pina Sweda.
After Abhyanga, body is massaged by using hot linen pads that are filled with rice, milk and herbs.
The warmth of linen pads opens the body’s channels and boost circulation, allowing healing milk and rice to penetrate deep into the tissue.
This treatment renews and revitalizes the whole body.

If something turns out to be important to the health of cells and if it has the potential to help in the treatment of a disorder, then it is logical that it should become a standard part of medical protocols.
