Kukkutanda Swedam

(Special herbal bolus fomentation therapy)

Kukkutanda Swedam is a unique ayurvedic therapy where a warm paste made from medicinal herbs and egg yolk is applied to sore muscles and joints. It promotes tissue regeneration and pain relief.

How Kukkutanda Swedam Works?

Kukkutanda Swedam works on the application of therapeutic heat to the body, especially targeting joints and muscles. The treatment involves the use of a special warm poultice, typically made from the egg (kukkutanda), which is infused with a blend of Ayurvedic herbs. The warmth and medicinal properties from the poultice help to improve blood circulation, alleviate stiffness, reduce pain, and promote relaxation in the muscles and joints. This therapy is beneficial for treating pain, inflammation, and stiffness, particularly in areas like the back, knees, and shoulders.

Kukkutanda Swedam Procedure

Preparation: The patient is positioned comfortably, and the affected area is exposed. A herbal poultice containing medicinal ingredients and eggs is prepared and heated to a warm temperature. 

Application: The warm poultice is gently applied to the targeted area, such as the joints or muscles, where pain or stiffness is experienced. The poultice is pressed onto the skin, allowing the heat and herbs to penetrate deeply. 

Thermal Action: The poultice is left on the area for a specific duration, usually 15-20 minutes, to allow the heat to alleviate pain and inflammation. The treatment also helps in improving circulation and relaxing the muscles. 

Post-treatment Care: After the session, the poultice is removed, and the treated area may be massaged gently to further enhance relaxation and blood flow. 

Benefits Of Kukkutanda Swedam

    I’ve been seeing doctors for the past 10 years, dealing with everything from a simple cold to more serious stuff like shoulder tendonitis, which required an injection. Wanting to avoid ongoing treatments, I turned to Ayurveda. Since then, my shoulders are back to feeling as good as new. Later on, I also got treated for ulcerative colitis and it’s all gone now. It’s amazing—every issue I’ve had has been fixed without any long-term problems.

    I took treatment in this Hospital for knee pain and blood circulation in left foot from 5th Sept to 16th Sept 2024. I took a consultation with Dr. Sri Krishna, a Competent, Calm, and Cool person. Above all 6th Generation doctor of this ancient hospital! There is a say that, when you meet your doctor, half of your ailments will disappear, actually it happened with me! He advised me to take 10 days of external treatment like Abhyanga, Janu Basti.. along with oral medicines...

    I met Dr.Sampoorna who helped me with the treatment for my vericose veins. I underwent 14 days treatment in Shree Ayurvedic hospital. The 5 girls who helped me with the treatment were really kind and helpful. Even the staffs were really kind. I can see a good improvement in the condition after getting the treatment. Hope it gets even more better in the future.
