Kati Snana (Citz Bath)

In this form of hot tub bath, the individual sits in a warm herbal decoction after receiving a massage on the lower body. This bath is both cleansing and therapeutic in nature. Kati Snana may be given with or without Part Abhyanga (localized massage).

Svedana is a process designed to induce sweating through the hair follicles. Steam plays a vital role by dilating the body's cells and channels, which helps mobilize and expel toxins. As a result, the digestive fire (Agni) is stimulated, facilitating the breakdown and elimination of Ama (toxins). Svedana also supports the regulation of water flow in the body. The use of specific herbs enhances detoxification and provides targeted therapeutic benefits.

This therapy is specially useful for conditions related to the lower half of the body, from the low back up to the genital area.
