Snehan therapy, also known as Oleation Therapy, is a vital component of Ayurvedic treatment aimed at lubricating the body's tissues, softening them, and promoting relaxation. The word “Snehan” itself means “oiliness” or “unctuousness” in Sanskrit. During Snehan therapy, various medicated oils or ghee (clarified butter) are applied externally to the body through gentle massage or internal consumption. The oils used in Snehan therapy are often infused with herbs that have specific therapeutic properties tailored to the individual's needs.
