Dhoomapanam is an Ayurvedic treatment designed to cleanse and rejuvenate the head, respiratory system, and sense organs. The process involves burning a mixture of herbs or herbal powders to produce medicinal smoke, which is then inhaled.
Typically conducted over a period of one to seven days, Dhoomapanam is particularly effective for addressing bronchial asthma, sinusitis, and infections of the upper and lower respiratory tracts. The therapeutic smoke helps to dry excessive mucus, reduce pain-causing inflammation in the sinus cavities and respiratory tract, and remove mucous toxins.
Beyond its physical benefits, Dhoomapanam also enhances mental clarity and provides a sense of freshness and rejuvenation. The treatment supports overall respiratory health and well-being by clearing and refreshing the respiratory system and sense organs.
