About The Book

Two of the most important therapeutic procedures in Ayurvedic Panchakarma are Snehana (oleation) and Swedana (sudation/fomentation). This book explains in detail the concepts, objectives, types, methods, and benefits of these two therapies.

“Snehan Va Swedan Parichay” serves as an invaluable guide for students of Ayurveda, medical scholars, researchers, and Panchakarma therapists. It presents systematic information on the various classifications of Snehana, the different forms of Swedana, their effects on bodily doshas, as well as the proper selection of suitable and unsuitable patients for these therapies.

The author, Dr. Govind Bhanudasrao Langote, has studied Snehana and Swedana from a classical perspective based on traditional texts and has presented valuable insights in this book, making it a useful supplement to medical education.
