Snehana vidhi is an ayurvedic method of treating diseases through oil massage. Snehana or oiling plays a significant role in Panchakarma in Ayurveda. Panchakarma is the five methods of acquiring good health. Oiling is necessary before the other purgatory techniques are applied. For the elimination of doshas (tendencies) present in the body, first snehan, then svedan and then vaman (vomiting) and virechan (purgation) should be done. Various Oil Massages To Treat Diseases In Ayurveda Ghee (clarified butter) has cooling properties and, being oily, diminishes the burning sensation and improves voice and color. Oil is smooth, hot and heavy, and diminishes gas and kapha (phlegm). It makes a person strong and is very effective for the skin. Fats, being heavy, warm and sweat-extracting, diminish gas. Patients having problems with bones, joints, ligaments, vital organs, high secretion of intestines and people who have high digestive power are given snehana with animal fats
