₹ 5,000/ Person
Snehapan therapy, also known as Snehapanam or Snehapanam therapy, is a traditional Ayurvedic treatment that involves the consumption of medicated oils or ghee. The word "Sneha" means love or oil, and "Pana" means drinking, so Snehapanam essentially refers to the practice of drinking therapeutic oils or ghee to promote healing and balance in the body.
This therapy is commonly used as part of Panchakarma, a comprehensive Ayurvedic detoxification and rejuvenation procedure. Here's an overview of how Snehapan therapy works:
Key Aspects of Snehapan Therapy:
Medicated Ghee/Oil: The oils or ghee used in Snehapanam are typically medicated with herbs and spices, and they are prepared to balance the body's doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha). The specific oil or ghee chosen depends on the individual's constitution, health condition, and dosha imbalances.
Purpose: The therapy is aimed at promoting deep internal cleansing, lubricating the tissues, enhancing digestion, and detoxifying the body. It helps to remove accumulated toxins (Ama) from the body and strengthens the immune system.
Process:
Preparation: The individual is asked to consume a certain quantity of medicated ghee or oil in the morning, usually on an empty stomach.
Gradual Consumption: The consumption of ghee or oil starts slowly with small amounts, increasing gradually over several days, depending on the specific treatment plan.
Duration: The therapy usually lasts for a few days to a week, depending on the patient's condition and the recommendation of an Ayurvedic practitioner.
Benefits:
Detoxification: It helps to cleanse the digestive tract and removes impurities from the tissues and organs.
Joint and Bone Health: Snehapan therapy is said to lubricate the joints and tissues, which can be beneficial for conditions like arthritis and muscle stiffness.
Improved Digestion: It enhances the digestive fire (Agni) and supports the absorption of nutrients.
Nourishing the Body: The oils or ghee provide essential fats that nourish the tissues and support overall vitality.
Stress Reduction: It promotes a sense of calm and balance, supporting mental and emotional well-being.
Contraindications:
Snehapanam may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with certain conditions like high cholesterol, obesity, or specific digestive disorders. Always consult a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any therapy.
This therapy is typically part of a larger Ayurvedic healing plan, which may also include other treatments like massages, herbal supplements, and lifestyle changes.
