preliminary detoxification as well as Ama-Reducing methods according to one’s dosha, should usually be followed for a period right before Pancha Karma.
Oleation and Sweating Methods
Oleation and Sweating Methods
Application of oils, Snehana, Dive into details also called’ oleation therapy’ is a major healing method of Ayurveda, with oils used both internally and externally. steam therapy or Therapeutic sweating, Svedana, is yet another vital method. These two are significant parts of Pancha Karma but may also be effective in themselves for treating various conditions and for health maintenance.
After adequate detoxification, a period of regular oil program as well as sweating therapy must be implemented for a minumum of one week for overall health maintenance and three days for the treatment of severe diseases. Bright sesame oil is used all over the body in copious amounts, even though the patient lays on a special Ayurvedic massage table. Special medicated oils (like Narayan or Mahanarayan oil) can be applied, especially to particular disease websites. The ability in massage is not the problem here.
To sweat is done a couple of minutes after oleation, typically with a special Ayurvedic sweatbox, usually with the fact of the water vapor of diaphoretic herbs (camphor, eucalyptus, mint, or bayberry) for many people, or with tonics (Dashamula and bala) for weaker kinds. Herbs can be decocted in a pressure cooker, to which a hose pipe is connected at the top (called nadi sveda).
Heavy use of oils, too, will depress the intestinal fire as well as cause loss of constipation or even appetite. Hence, oil application shouldn’t be quite heavy, or perhaps it need to be balanced out by taking ginger and/or any other spicy herbs to better the digestive fire.
