I have used this steam tent for about 23 years, and it still looks brand new. My clients love it. I love it for myself. Anyone can use it. It's excellent for massage therapists and Ayurvedic practitioners who want to perform swedhana therapy. It's very low maintenance. I use an environment-friendly cleaning spray and sponge. The tent usually doesn't touch the client's skin, keeping it extra clean. It's light and easy to put over a client on the table and sturdy enough not to need velcro to stay put. I have steamed men as tall as 6 ft 3" in this tent. Use it before or after massage to melt toxins in your client's body, relax, and soften their muscles while metabolizing fat more quickly.

What is Swedhana Therapy? An ancient healing therapy based on the science of Ayurveda, which induces perspiration by heating the body’s core temperature. Swedhana Therapy is a form of thermo-therapy that uses steam to support detoxification, remove impurities, and melt toxins within the body by releasing them more readily into the gastrointestinal tract and encouraging elimination. Before Swedhana Therapy, the client should receive an oil massage or dry brushing. Lavender, lemon, amber, juniper, and eucalyptus essential oils can be used in the steam or added to the massage oil. Swedhana Therapy ignites each cell's digestive and metabolic fires while supporting the immune system. It brings deep relaxation, removes stress, and crystallizes negative emotions.

My tent is made out of recycled sailcloth called stamoid, a marine grade, waterproof and mildew resistant, vinyl-like fabric. The tent is six feet long and fits over standard massage tables. The tail at the end of the tent is a 16" diameter circular tube that fits around the steam pot. The steam rises through the tail and circulates the steam evenly inside the tent. The tent is foldable and fits into a carry bag. The bag, steam pot, rods, online instructional DVD, and manual are included.

Package Deal: $1,699 Includes My Steam Tent Canopy and Online Exfoliation & Detoxification Steam & Friction Massage Course at This Link.

The steampot is simple, effective, safe, but nothing fancy. Just turn it on high, put the tent sleeve over it, and wait 10 minutes, and the steam will begin to fill the tent effortlessly without a fan. There is no need for a thermometer if you are monitoring your client correctly. If your client's nose and ears start to turn red, it's time to take them out! Always ask your clients how they feel. The tent can instantly be lifted off the table, and a rush of cool air will refresh your client immediately. You can pass a towel or sheet through the neck of the tent so they are adequately draped before you remove the tent. Full instructions are in the online manual that it comes with, as well as the online DVD. The DVD demonstrates a dry skin brushing (garshana) before the steam therapy.

An infinite number of possible therapies can be done with this tent, from salt glows, mud wraps, body pastes, oil massages, and more. Add herbs and essential oils to the steam pot for additional sensation and therapeutic effect!

Definition of Swedhana Therapy: A healing therapy inducing sweat by heating the body’s core temperature. SAMA’s swedhana therapy uses a spec table cover at this link. It is a specially designed, portable tent canopy sauna that fits directly over the massage table.  Swedhana Therapy is a form of thermo-therapy.  In this case, we are using steam to induce perspiration and detoxification. Swedhana Therapy removes impurities and melts toxins within the body so that they move more readily into the gastrointestinal tract, supporting elimination. Before Swedhana Therapy, the client should receive an oil massage or dry brushing. Lavender, lemon, amber, juniper, and eucalyptus used in the base of sesame oil are a safe choice. Swedhana Therapy ignites the digestive fire, metabolic fire, and immune system of all the cells within the body. Swedhana Therapy brings deep relaxation, removes stress and crystallized negative emotions. A professional should personalize Swedhana Therapy according to the client’s emotional and physical current doshic constitution.

Five methods that facilitate swedhana:

1. Ushma Baspa (Steam): Use with Eucalyptus, ginger, sandalwood, mint, herbal teas, herbal oils, sauna bath, steam box, or steam tent.
2. Drava (Liquid) Examples: Hot tub, hot shower, hot mineral bath, pouring of warm oil, baking soda, ginger powder.
3. Tapas (Fire/heat) Examples: Heated experiences like sitting near a fire, lying on hot sand, rocks, and stone therapy.
4. Upanaha (Poultice): Use with Calamus root, hot black pepper, cloves, mustard seed, castor oil, and maha herbal massage.
5. Anagni (Fireless) Examples: Warm closed rooms, warm clothes, warm blanket, rubbing/vibrator, fasting/thirsting, sunning, drinking hot teas, using hot herbs, induced fear/anger, running.

The most common use of swedhana is the steam tent. Herbs and detoxifying oils are used according to the person’s dosha. The herbs and oils should also be chosen to heighten the profuseness of swedana and, at the same time, help balance the needs of your client's dosha.

• Vata imbalances need ginger.

• Pitta imbalances need sandalwood.

• Kapha imbalances need eucalyptus (tri-doshic).

Steam swedhana lubricates the skin, is excellent for vata and kapha imbalances, and effectively reduces excess fat and swelling. It is used to pacify pitta in moderation and with precautions.
