Summary:
A delightful treatment in which a pinda (bolus/ball) is made from grains, herbs and spices and firm massage is applied over the whole or specific part of the body.
Overview
All ancient cultures used the earth's sacred grains and legumes, not only
to cleanse, nourish and tone the skin but also to enhance the physical prowess of the body.
Ayurveda achieves this by bringing the doshas into balance.
In Pinda Sweda, a pinda (bolus/ball) is made from grains, herbs and
spices and firm massage is applied over the whole or a specific part of the body.
This helps to awaken cellular memory through intense stimulation.
Pinda Sweda is given after the Whole Body or Part Body Abhyanga (massage).
It enhances circulation and draws fresh energy to the surface of the skin and
is particularly helpful for detoxifying and beautifying the skin.
This Sweda is very effective for rehabilitation therapy. It is excellent in treating
Vata and Kapha disorders, since both these doshas are cold/cool in nature.
This remarkable treatment uses natural, nourishing ingredients such as
Sesame Oil, Chickpea Flour, Ginger, Adjowan Seeds, Turmeric Powder and
Fenugreek Powder.
Please note that a small hot plate (available from Argos) is required to
do this treatment.
Comment from Principal Tutor:
"This is the most delightful treatment I have ever experienced - the
level of deep relaxation was remarkable".
