science is basically a treatment branch with very special treatment
diversities. Sneha Panam is one of the best curing method of Ayurveda and it’s
very special in every aspect. As a curative way Sneha Panam gives relax for certain
body ailments and besides it’s a nourishing treatment. Medicated Ghee is the
main product using for Sneha Panam. In Panchakarma the Sneha Panam plays an
important part. Sneha Panam can be defined as the administration of medicated
ghee. While preparing Panchakarma, the medicated ghee or Sneha Panam takes
relevance, because without Sneha Panam, there is no entity for Panchakarma.
The selected ghee is given to patients. The amount of the Sneha Panam can be vary
or different as per the health of the patient. In accordance to the digestive
power of the patient the ghee is givens. It effects the entire digestive
system. The Sneha Panam consuming quantity would be changed or increased as per
the capacity of the digestive system. The quantity will be increase. It’s on
daily basis up to 300ml. But it has certain restriction especially to the
period of Sneha Panam consuming. It must be take the timing only for maximum 7
days.
Snehapanam is a therapeutic
measure in Ayurveda, characterized by the oral intake of medicated ghee made
from cow's milk for internal purification before doing the Panchakarma therapy.
It is recommended for patients with conditions such as neurological ailments,
gastroenterological illness, arthritis, chronic constipation, psoriasis, and
others. It cures neurological problems, skin diseases like psoriasis, peptic
ulcer, urinary disorders.

Snehapanam, done once a day on an empty stomach,
is usually continued for 3 to 7 days depending on the type of illness. The
exact duration and type of ghee to be used are decided by the doctor,
considering the type of disease, age, place, climate, and body constitution. No
other medicines, except the ghee, are taken during the treatment. A strict diet
pattern has to be followed as per the doctor's advice. After snehapanam,
purgation is strongly recommended.
The Snehapanam is useful to the person with such conditions,
·
Skin diseases like
psoriasis

Peptic ulcer

Urinary disorders

Gout

During this treatment, we recommend fasting to
our patients so that a good amount of energy is taken from sneha by their body.
With an aim to nourish all the body parts, Snehapanam is given as a first
therapy before performing other Ayurvedic treatments.
