The ancient Hindus were known to be highly intellectual and sensuous people. One of their cardinal principles was that there is no dividing line in human personality between the mind and the body. The mind is body and the body is mind. Also, that if beautifying the mind is to beautify the body, the converse is equally true. Beautifying the body is to beautify the soul.

The Ayurvedic system of medicine provides a fundamental understanding of the five basic elements of nature. These elements express themselves into three operating principles within the physiology referred to as the three Doshas -Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Individual constitution, which is acquired at birth, is expressed through Ayurveda in terms of these three doshas and Ayurvedic medicine draws upon its rich traditions of herbs and roots to effectively balance these. 

Ayurveda believes that the body produces certain toxins that are harmful if they are not flushed out regularly. The skin forms a large organ, which helps the body to rid itself of toxins and impurities. Ayurveda advocates three precise steps for this detoxification and cleansing process- Snehana, Swedana and Snana. Snehana extracts toxins from the body with the use of scrubs, wraps and packs. Swedana goes a step further, and here detoxification takes place through saunas and steam baths. Snana or the bath, is the last step in this holistic cleansing process.
