Swedana Karma in Pediatric Practice: a Critical Review and Clinical Perspectives

Author(s) Dr. Mr. Rohit Kumar
Country India
Abstract Swedana (sudation therapy) is a vital preparatory procedure in Panchakarma[1], aimed at liquefying toxins and facilitating their elimination. While extensively used in adults, its application in pediatric care is limited due to the delicate nature of children’s physiology. This review critically evaluates Swedana therapy’s safety, efficacy, and modifications necessary for pediatric patients. It also examines the physiological impact, benefits, contraindications, and gaps in current research. A systematic literature review was conducted using classical Ayurvedic texts, contemporary research articles, and clinical studies related to pediatric Swedana. Emphasis was placed on types of Swedana suitable for children, their mechanisms of action, and documented clinical outcomes. Swedana therapy has shown positive effects in pediatric conditions like respiratory disorders, musculoskeletal stiffness, and digestive irregularities. However, inappropriate administration may lead to adverse effects such as dehydration, weakness, or thermal injury. While Swedana is beneficial for pediatric care, it requires specific modifications in technique, duration, and intensity to align with the physiological characteristics of children. More clinical trials are needed to validate its efficacy and establish standardized protocols.
