Abstract
Panchakarma is stated to be the strength of Ayurveda. Primary role of Panchakarma is shodhana in nature. Even though contemporary science has made many progresses, there is no substitute for Shodhana and there is no better treatment than shodhana for many diseases. Snehana is a preoperative procedure for many shodhana, predominantly for vamana and virechana karma. Snehana is oleation therapy for 3 to 7 days that prepares the patients receive either vamana or virechana. Acharyas of Ayurveda have proposed concept of sadyosnehana to be used in emergency, which yield the features of proper Snehana quickly. In the present days since the life has become busy and patients have little time for treatment, sadyosnehana becomes more relevant and important. Therefore this article discusses the nuances of sadyosnehana in detail.
Keywords: sadyosnehana, shodhana, Panchakarma, sadyosnehana yoga.
