Bahya Snehanam

Bahya Snehanam involves massaging warm medicated oils onto the body.

This involves techniques like Abhyanga (full-body oil massage) and localized oil pools (e.g. Janu Basti for knees). The external oil application deeply nourishes tissues and pacifies Vāta dosha, which is associated with dryness and stiffness

Herb-infused warm oil is applied with rhythmic strokes to ease muscle tension.

Warm oil massage improves circulation and comforts the nervous system as the oils are absorbed through the skin.  Often a steam bath (swedana) follows to open the pores and further flush toxins.Bahya Snehanam deeply soothes chronic aches and stiffness. By calming Vāta, it relieves conditions like sciatica, stiff neck or back, and arthritic joint pain

The oil infusion enhances muscle and nerve strength, boosting flexibility.

Patients report that regular oil massage also enhances skin tone and resilience. Mentally, Bahya Snehanam is profoundly relaxing – the gentle touch and warmth reduce stress, anxiety and insomnia. It is often recommended for Vāta-related imbalances (e.g. rheumatoid conditions, neuralgia, fatigue) and is a core daily self-care (dinacharya) practice in Ayurveda. In sum, Bahya Snehanam uses therapeutic oil to lubricate the body’s channels, leaving patients grounded, supple and rejuvenated
