Revitalize Your Body and Mind with Ayurvedic Oleation Therapy

At Dr. Rekha Health Wisdom Ayurveda and Panchkarma Centre, we offer Oleation Therapy (Snehana), an ancient Ayurvedic treatment that involves the use of herbal oils to nourish and rejuvenate the body, balancing the doshas and promoting overall health. This therapy is designed to detoxify, improve circulation, enhance the skin’s natural glow, and provide deep relaxation.

What is Oleation Therapy?

Oleation Therapy, known as Snehana in Ayurveda, is a treatment that involves the application of warm, medicated oils to the body to help lubricate tissues, improve circulation, and facilitate the removal of toxins (Ama). It is performed as an integral part of detoxification treatments like Panchkarma to prepare the body for deeper cleansing.

Oleation is particularly effective for addressing Vata dosha imbalances, as it provides the necessary moisture and lubrication to dry, stiff, or arthritic joints, as well as alleviating conditions such as stress, anxiety, and digestive disorders.

Benefits of Oleation Therapy (Snehana)

1. Deep Detoxification: It helps the body expel toxins and impurities, particularly beneficial for those suffering from metabolic issues and digestive disorders.
2. Improved Circulation: The warm oils stimulate the circulation, increasing the flow of nutrients to the tissues and aiding in the removal of waste products from the body.
3. Relieves Joint Pain and Stiffness: Oleation therapy is highly effective in soothing joint pain, inflammation, and stiffness, particularly beneficial for conditions like arthritis, rheumatism, and spondylitis.
4. Enhances Skin Health: It nourishes the skin from within, promoting smooth, soft, and youthful skin by reducing dryness, wrinkles, and blemishes.
5. Balances Vata Dosha: By providing lubrication and hydration, it helps balance Vata dosha, which is often associated with dryness, stiffness, and anxiety.
6. Promotes Mental Clarity: The relaxing effect of the therapy calms the mind, reduces stress, and promotes emotional well-being.
7. Improves Digestion: It helps strengthen the digestive system, especially for those experiencing sluggish digestion or constipation.
8. Improves Sleep Quality: Regular sessions of Oleation can help relieve anxiety and tension, promoting better sleep patterns.
