Abstract

Snehana (internal oleation) is the  major preparatory procedure to be performed before Shodhana (Biopurification).The entire procedure of Shodhana depends upon the proper mobilization of humors (Dosha) from peripheral circulation (Shakha) to intestinal circulation (Koshtha),which is achieved with the help of Snehana and Svedana. Oleation leads and decides total outcome of The Bio purification therapy; Hence in this study standard guidelines are applied for performing internal oleation in an effective manner to avoid Ayoga (insufficient use) and Atiyoga (excessive use) of Snehana. For that we start and increased dose of lipids in an appropriate manner considering Agni (power of digestion) and Koshtha (nature of bowels) of patients. The study was carried out on total 30 healthy volunteers undergoing Vasantik Vamana. Shodhananga Snehapana with Shuddha Ghrita was administered according to Agni and Koshtha of patients. Samyak snigdha Lakshanas were assessed using special scoring pattern. Statistical analysis using paired‘t’ test were done. Onset of samyak snigdha lakshana occurs in sequence. Vatanuloman, Agnidipti, Gatra Mruduta, Klama, Snehodvega, Adhastat Sneha Darshana was seen in all patients; whereas, glani, Anga Laghava, Twak Snighdata were noted in less percentage of patients.
