Shodha nanga Snehapana (internal oleation) is the most important Purvakarma for shodhana. The entire procedure of Sodhana (purification) depends upon the proper mobilization of humors (Doshas) from the periphery (Sakha) which is to be achieved with the help of Snehana (Oleation) and Svedana (Sudation therapy) Oleation leads and decides the total outcome of the detoxification therapy, Duration of snehapana kala in each individual is differ according to the koshta, Hence assisment of Koshta is needed for performing the internal oleation in an effective manner and also for avoiding the inadequate and excess oleation. It is obligatory to start and increase the dose of lipids (Sneha) in appropriate and judicious way considering the nature of bowel habit (Koshta) of the subject.
