Our steam tents are hand-made from stamoid, a marine grade, waterproof and mildew resistant, vinyl like fabric. The clean-up is very easy.

Made with care by an Ayurvedic Practitioner and Massage Therapist.

The purpose of Swedhana Therapy is to liquefy, loosen, remove impurities and melt toxins within the body so that they move more readily into the gastrointestinal tract, supporting elimination. It kindles digestive fire, metabolic fire (agni) and the immune system of all the cells within the body. It brings about deep relaxation, removes stress and crystallized negative emotions. Garshana Therapy uses hand-crafted, silk exfoliating gloves to remove dead skin cells from the entire body, detoxify the liver, alkalize the blood and awaken vitality. The traditional Ayurvedic garshana sequence is listed step-by-step in the manual. This session lasts about one hour and the therapist can charge between $90-$130 for each session depending on the socio-economic area and the credentials and experience of the therapist.

The manual has many detailed pictures and is very easy to understand. The video is also very comprehensive and simple to follow. Upon receipt of your answer sheet with a score of 75% or higher, signed practicum (10 people), and course evaluation, you will be awarded your CE hours from the NCBTMB and sent a professional wall certificate. Students are given 6 months (from the date the home study package is sent in the mail) to complete their course.
