The term “Snehapana” has its roots in Ayurveda, an ancient Indian system of medicine. It refers to a treatment process involving the consumption of medicated oils or ghee (clarified butter) to detoxify and nourish the body.

In Ayurveda, Snehapana is used to:

1. Detoxify the body (Panchakarma)
2. Nourish and rejuvenate tissues (Rasayana)
3. Balance doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha)
