Basic Principles of Ayurveda:

It induces localized perspiration (Swedana), which improves blood circulation and helps flush out accumulated toxins (Ama). The combination of unctuous (Snigdha) and hot (Ushna) properties directly balances aggravated Vata and Kapha doshas, which are responsible for pain and stiffness. The bandage traps heat, opening the skin's pores (Roma Koopa) and allowing medicinal principles from the herbs to penetrate deep into the tissues.

Procedure for Ayurvedic therapies:

Application: A medicated paste—often formulated with powdered herbs, oils (like Eranda Taila), rock salt, and sour liquids—is applied in a thick, warm layer (3-5mm) to the affected area. Bandaging: The paste is covered with specific leaves (e.g., Arka, Nirgundi) or cloth and wrapped, creating a localized, moist heat, or "dry" sweat depending on the formulation.
