Panchkarma

Abhyanga Snehana is the application of viscous medicated oil all over the body. During the subsequent Snana (bath), this oil is washed away with a special herbal powder and shampoo. A routine in many households, this practice has been passed down through generations as a panacea in order to slow the ageing process, improve skin quality and eye-sight, and achieve peace of mind.

Regular Abhyanga Snehana is said to boost disease-resistance as it strengthens the immune system. This treatment is highly recommended for people suffering from the effects of Vata doshas.
