*Snehana: Snehana means Oleation or to make smooth. (मार्दव)
*Swedana: This procedure is very important to liquefy the vitiated Doshas inside the body (which are already made soft by oleation / स्नेहन procedure), later to be brought to Koshtha (कोष्ठ), which will be eliminated by inducing either Vamana / Virechana.
'''''The Procedures of Panchakarma'''''
''Basti'' is used to treat '''vata''' disorders.
Shirodhara has been used to treat a variety of conditions including eye diseases, sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, greying of hair, neurological disorders, memory loss, insomnia, hearing impairment, tinnitus, vertigo, Ménière's disease and certain types of skin diseases like psoriasis. It is also used non-medicinally at spas for its relaxing properties.
There are specialized forms of shirodhara called ksheeradhara, thakradhara, taildhara and jaladhara.
#''Virechana'' is also known as medical purgation(cleansing). It is one of the Panchakarmas. Its clinical trials have been carried out for bronchial asthma, psoriasis, diabetes. But no conclusive evidence has been found out that it works.
According to Ayurvedic claims, Virechana is the best line of management for skin disorders.
