Abstract

Snehana stands for lubrication of the body systems by the administration of fatty substances internally or externally. Internal administration of Sneha/oil is called snehapan. It is an important preparatory procedure for Panchakarma. The entire procedure of Śodhana (purification), depends upon the proper mobilization of humours (Doshas) from the periphery (Śākhā) which is to be achieved with the help of Snehana (Oleation) and Svedana (Sudation therapy). Snehana is considered as the essential tool of management in Ayurveda i.e. dragging of vitiated dosas to the major channels from the periphery (from Sakha to kostha).

Keywords: Taila, Snehana (Oleation), snehapan, Ghritha
