Snehana Therapy
Understanding Snehana Therapy
Snehana is a foundational Ayurvedic therapy involving the use of medicated oils or ghee, applied either externally or administered internally, to nourish tissues and prepare the body for deeper therapeutic processes. It plays a crucial role in balancing aggravated Vata Dosha, reducing dryness, stiffness, and internal rigidity.
Why Snehana May Be for You
Joint stiffness and restricted movement
Chronic dryness of skin and tissue
Vata-related pain and discomfort
Muscle tightness and fatigue
Musculoskeletal conditions
Preparatory care for therapies
Vamana Procedure
Administered using prescribed medicated oils or ghee, selected according to the individual’s constitution and condition. The therapy may be applied externally through gentle massage or given internally in measured doses, depending on therapeutic need.
Post-Therapy Care
Light and warm meals are advised to support digestion and assimilation. Adequate rest and avoidance of exertion or cold exposure help stabilize the effects of the therapy.
Prepare the Body
At Achintya Ayurveda, therapies like Snehana are not treated as simple massages, but as purposeful clinical interventions. When dryness, stiffness, or Vata imbalance is addressed early, the body responds more smoothly to healing and deeper therapies.
