    [abstract] => The term Swedana (Fomentation Therapy) is derived from the root 'Swid' with the suffix 'Nich'. It is defined as the procedure that alleviates Stambhata (stiffness), Gauravata (heaviness), and Sheetata (coldness), and induces perspiration in the individual. Sagni sweda (thermal) and Niragni sweda (non-thermal) are the two primary varieties of swedana. Parisheka is the process of seka where warm and unctuous liquids like medicated milk, oils, decoctions, mutra, kshara, ghrita or amlakanjika are continuously poured in a stream over a specific body part (ekanga) or the whole body (sarvanga) for therapeutic purposes. It is a type of saagni sweda (thermal) is considered under drava sweda by Acharya Sushruta where it is told to be useful in Pittotkrushta Avastha thus considered useful in inflammatory conditions. Just as the fire is extinguished by sprinkling water, similarly the aggravated doshagni can be pacified through the therapeutic application of Parisheka. Its efficacy lies in the intelligent selection of medicated liquids, tailored to the specific condition and dosha involved. The therapeutic process, when executed following classical vidhi (procedure), facilitates localized sudation, alleviates pain, reduces inflammation, and improves circulation, all while offering a gentle yet effective approach compared to other fomentation methods. As modern interest grows in non-invasive and natural therapies, Parisheka presents a promising integrative treatment option.
