Abstract

The therapy known as snehapana causes the body to become greasy, liquefied, soft, and moisturized. Because of this attraction, our bodies are thought of as the essence of oils and fats. As a result, this study is being prepared to monitor changes in body fat levels. Ketone bodies are the name given to the trio of acetoacetate, ẞ-hydroxybutyrate, and acetone. These compounds produce energy and are water soluble. The exception is acetone, which cannot be digested and is easily expelled through the lungs. True ketones are acetoacetate and acetone, but Bhydroxybutyrate lacks a keto group. Thus to asseses the Acetone gas through the breath test this protocol is designed by using Ketone Breath Analyser. Snehana treatment is a procedure that involves giving sneha to accomplish the intended impact within a set time frame as opposed to just giving some sneha, regardless of time or duration. The maximum amount of time required for the Snehana technique is Prakarsa Kala.

Keywords: Snehapana, Ketone, Ketosis, Ketone breath test.
