Skin disorder - Snehapana
Snehapana (internal administration of unctuous substances) comes under abhyantarasnehana and is the internal administration of snehadravya (unctuoussubstances). Snehadravya can be taila (oil), ghrita (ghee), majja (bone-marrow), and vasa (muscle-fat) individually or in combination. Snehapana is the foremost treatment to be done prior to shodhana (purificatory procedure) and is one among purvakarma (pre-purificatory procedure). On the basis of therapeutics, snehapana can be classified based on their action as brhmana (nourishing), shamana (pacifying), and shodhana (purifying).
