SNEHANA in Sanskrit translates to OIL and to LOVE, therefore application of oil to our bodies is a form of SELF LOVE 🤍
In Ayurveda, sneha is a soft, oily or lubricating substance, and snehana is the treatment process of oleation, in which sneha, such as ghee or medicated oils, are applied to the body. Snehana can be administered both externally and internally, with two main types of sneha oil and ghee.
Snehana is used to detoxify organs and lubricate or soften tissues in the body. Therapies can help to detach toxins from wherever they are stored in the body, channeling them to the gastrointestinal tract. In this way, toxins can be easily eliminated from the body.
1. Internal (abhyantara) – in which fat is administered either orally, through the nose or as an e***a. Prior to abhyantara snehana treatment, the patient will have a restricted diet in order to clear the body's channels, and the treatment itself is usually conducted whilst fasting.
2. External (bahya) – which can take the form of head, foot or body massage, oil pulling or gargling, application of sneha to specific parts of the body in which warm oil is poured continually onto the body.
Snehana is particularly effective in treating Vata disorders, such as insomnia, stress, and anxiety. It is also used to treat infertility, dry skin, anemia and fatigue. It is not advisable for those suffering from indigestion, diarrhea, vomiting, weak digestion or anorexia.
One of my favourite treatments to offer is whole body Abhyanga massage, using warm medicated oils to help stimulate the immune system, improving lymph flow and revitalising the entire body.
