Rookshana karma

The word "rooksha" refers to dryness. Rookshana karma induces dryness in the body. This is required whenever there is increased oiliness and stickiness in the body.

CHOORNA PINDA SWEDA

Choornapindasweda is one among ooshmasweda. It is done with the boluses of various choornas (usually medhika, sarshapa, sathapushpa, jatamansi, atasietc).

It can be done as snigdha (uncous or rooksha according to the condition). In snigdhapindasweda, oil is applied over the body as well as the pottalis are heated in oil. The potalis can be heated by the steam of boiling dravadravyas like Dhanyamla in specific conditions.

ChurnaPindaSweda is the best treatment to provide relief from pain, inflammation, swelling and stiffness (catch) associated with bone, joint and or musculoskeletal pains. It is highly beneficial in healing musculoskeletal and neuromuscular diseases. Many times it also acts as a disease-modifier when combined with other effective treatments.

PROCEDURE

The hot pottali should be gently applied over the body, after confirming the temperature. Just pressing the body with pottali should be done, no need of kneading and massaging with the potali. Both pottalis are used alternately after reheating to maintain uniform temperature throughout the procedure. Reheating is done either by keeping potali in vessel or by steam of dhanyamla or water. Same potali can be used for three days. For whole body, it should be done for about 30-45 minutes in the 7 positions.
