Shenaz Treasury Tries Ayurvedic Smoking at Kerala Retreat

Shenaz Treasury tried an old Ayurvedic practice at a retreat in Kerala.

The practice is called Dhoompan or Dhumapana.

It involves breathing in smoke made from certain medicinal herbs.

The herbs may include turmeric, neem, guggulu and ghee.

A doctor at the retreat said it may help clear the nose and relax the mind.

Shenaz said she felt relaxed after trying it.

Traditionally, the smoke is inhaled through the nose and breathed out through the mouth.

This practice is different from smoking cigarettes, but people should ask a qualified doctor before trying it.
