In Ayurveda, "Snehan" refers to oleation or the application of oil. It is one of the preparatory procedures in the Panchakarma therapy, which is a comprehensive system of Ayurvedic detoxification and rejuvenation. The term "Snehan" is derived from the Sanskrit word "Sneha," which means oil or love. The Snehan treatment involves the external application of medicated oils or ghee (clarified butter) on the body. This can be done in various ways, including gentle massages, oil baths, or applying specific oils to certain parts of the body. The purpose of Snehan is to lubricate the body, soften the tissues, and prepare the body for the elimination of toxins. Snehan is often followed by another Panchakarma procedure called Swedana, which involves inducing sweating. Together, Snehan and Swedana help in the elimination of impurities and balancing the doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), promoting overall health and well-being. There are different types of Snehan, each serving specific purposes and employing various techniques. Here are some common types of Snehan: TWO MAJOR TYPES : 1. FULL BODY MASSAGE 2. LOCAL MASSAGE Other types are as follows... 1. Abhyanga (Oil Massage) 2. Kati Basti (Oil Pooling on the Lower Back) 3. Griva Basti (Oil Pooling on the Neck) 4. Janu Basti (Oil Pooling on the Knee) 5. Netra Tarpan(Oil Pooling on the eyes) These are just a few examples, and the specific type of Snehan recommended will depend on an individual's constitution (prakriti), current health condition (vikriti), and the goals of the treatment.
