Pinda Svedana is a deeply therapeutic, site-specific, localized heat and massage application. This 3-day, 21-hour course provides students with hands-on experience preparing and using pindas (boluses) in groups of two. Pindas are prepared from rice and herbs wrapped in cotton fabric and soaked in medicated herbal oils and decoctions.
