Ayurvedic Guide to Safe Heat Therapy: Why Charaka Samhita Warns Against Heavy Fomentation on Sensitive Body Parts

-

 Fomentation (heat therapy) is a common Ayurvedic treatment, but Charaka Samhita gives special advice on applying it gently to organs like the testicles, heart, eyes, and groins.


What is Fomentation in Ayurveda?

Fomentation means applying warmth — like hot cloths or steam — to relieve pain, improve circulation, and reduce muscle stiffness.

Charaka Samhita’s Specific Advice

Testicles, heart, and eyes should receive only mild fomentation.

Groins should get medium-level fomentation.

Other body parts can be treated as needed.

Why This Caution?

These organs are very sensitive:

Testicles are delicate and heat-sensitive.

The heart’s vital energy can be disturbed by excessive heat.

Eyes are fragile and prone to damage from heat or dryness.

Groins are sensitive reproductive areas needing moderate care.

Applying too much heat can cause inflammation and dosha imbalances.

What About Emergency Heat Therapy on the Chest?

You might wonder why emergency care sometimes applies heat near the heart. This is different because:

The heat is controlled and gentle, targeting muscles around the heart, not the heart itself.

Emergency treatments prioritize quick relief and muscle relaxation.

Ayurvedic advice focuses on long-term health and prevention.

Conclusion

Ayurveda teaches us to protect delicate organs with gentle care during heat therapy. Understanding when and how to apply fomentation safely is key to healing.

Psychic Power - Myth or Reality

-
Do psychic powers really exist, or is it just a myth? This question has intrigued people for a long time. While some believe in its existence, others remain skeptical. Numerous researchers have conducted experiments to prove its reality. But how did the term "psychic" come into existence? French astronomer and spiritualist Camille Flammarion was the first to use the term. Later, it was introduced to the English language by Edward William Cox. I strongly believe that psychic power does exist, and here's my explanation for it. Psychic power is akin to our other senses: feeling, seeing, hearing, tasting, and smelling. Science tells us that of all the five senses, feeling was the original fundamental sense, with the others being modifications and specialized forms of this fundamental sense. To understand psychic power, we must first understand the five senses. How do the five senses work? The eyes record the touch or feeling of light waves that strike them. The ears record th...
