Sarvanga Ubatana Abhyanga

Ubatana is a special, organic mixture of herbs and grains made into a coarse powder and massaged onto the body. It is done after oiling the body with the required or recommended herbal oil. Once the procedure is complete, the guest is then guided into a steam sweat lodge for deeper therapeutic effects. The ingredients in the Ubatana paste are carefully selected based on the individual's constitution (Prakriti) and specific conditions.

Ancient cultures valued the use of the earth's sacred grains and legumes not only for cleansing and nourishing the body, but also for enhancing physical vitality. Being inherently astringent, when combined with antiseptic, lipolytic herbs that mobilize sub-dermal entities, they create a potent, fragrant, all-round cleansing agent.

This massage is so deeply rooted in traditional practice that it remains a popular ritual among brides and grooms, often performed daily for a month before marriage to enhance skin glow and vitality.

Svedana is a therapeutic process designed to induce sweating, which occurs through the hair follicles in the skin. Steam is an essential component of this treatment, as it dilates the body's cells and channels, allowing toxins to be mobilized and expelled. As a result, the digestive fire (Agni) is stimulated, facilitating the breakdown and elimination of Ama (toxins) from the system. Svedana also helps regulate the body's water flow and supports overall metabolic function.

Different herbs are used in the steam to enhance detoxification and provide specific therapeutic benefits.

Sarvanga Sveda refers to a full-body steam bath, excluding the head. The client is placed in a lying or sitting steam chamber, where herbal steam is released to induce complete body sweating. This therapy is typically administered after a full-body Abhyanga (massage).
