The process of Patrapind Pottali Swedan is both simple and effective, focusing on promoting circulation, relieving pain, and enhancing flexibility. Here’s how it is performed:

1. Preparation of the Pottali (Herbal Compress):

   The Pottali is made from a mixture of specific herbal leaves and medicinal plants such as Nirgundi (Vitex negundo), Arka (Calotropis gigantea), Rasana (Pluchea lanceolata), and Eranda (Castor leaves). These herbs have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and muscle-relaxing properties. The herbs are fried in a medicated oil, usually Sesame oil or Castor oil, and then tied into a small cotton or muslin cloth to form the herbal bolus.

2. Heating the Pottali:

   The herbal compress is gently heated on a low flame to activate the medicinal properties of the herbs and provide warmth. The heated Pottali is then ready to be applied to the body.

3. Application of the Pottali:

   The therapist applies the warm herbal compress to the affected areas of the body using gentle, circular motions. The heat and herbal essence penetrate deep into the muscles and joints, enhancing circulation and relieving pain. The process is usually repeated for 30-45 minutes, during which the Pottali is reheated as needed to maintain the therapeutic warmth.

4. Post-Treatment Rest:

   After the therapy, patients are encouraged to rest and allow the therapeutic effects to fully integrate into the body. The warmth and herbal oils continue to work even after the session, promoting healing, relaxation, and rejuvenation.
