Upanaham
Upanaham is a herbal bandaging treatment used in Ayurveda. It helps alleviate localised pain, swelling and stiffness.
In this treatment a warm herbal paste is thickly applied over the affected area. Herbal leaves are placed over the paste and then bandaged with cotton cloth. It is retained on the area for at least six hours.
Depending on your condition it can be applied after a massage or as a stand-alone treatment.
