Ayurveda

Doshas can be eliminated by emisis and purgation if the (Toxins) doshas has collected in the alimentary canal, but these two procedures on their own would fall to remove the perturbed doshas present in the vast network of body channels.

Therefore, Panchakarma applies two preparatory steps - lubrication therapy and fomentation therapy to loosen and mobilize the doshas from the body channels into the alimentary canal and deliver them into its lumen. The role of these preparatory steps is identical to the application of lurication and steam for body channels return to the alimentary canal through openings, which also would have beeen unblocked by the preparatory measures.

They are Known as Poorva Karmas or Preparatory Therapies
They are two in number

1. Snehana (Oilation)
It is of two types
a) External of Abhyanga or body massage with medicated oils.
b) Internal when the medicated oils are used orally

2.) Svedana (Fomentation Therapy) Steam bath with medicated decoctions.
