Medicated Bath Treatment center in Trivandrum

What is Medicated Bath?

Medicated Bath, also known as Herbal Snanam, is a rejuvenating Ayurvedic therapy in which the body is bathed with warm water infused with carefully selected herbs, medicated oils, or decoctions. This traditional bathing ritual is designed not only for cleansing but also for detoxification, skin nourishment, and mental relaxation. It is often prescribed as a post-therapy procedure in Panchakarma and various external treatments.

What are the indications?

Medicated Bath is recommended for:

Skin disorders such as eczema, psoriasis, rashes, or itching
Body pain, stiffness, and fatigue
Stress, anxiety, and sleep disturbances
Poor circulation and toxin accumulation
After therapies like Abhyangam, Kizhi, or Vasti for enhanced effects
Excess body heat or Pitta aggravation
Dull skin tone and dryness
Immunity support and rejuvenation

What is the Treatment Procedure?

A blend of medicinal herbs is selected based on the individual’s condition and dosha.
These herbs are boiled in water to create a decoction or added along with medicated oils.
The warm herbal water is poured over the body, or the patient may be immersed partially/fully in a specially prepared herbal bath tub.
The process may last for 20–30 minutes.
The body is gently cleaned with herbal powders or soft cloth.
Medicated bath is often done after massages or Kizhi treatments as part of a holistic routine.
