ABSTRACT
Abhyanga, part of Panchakarma, is a kind of Bahya Snehan, playing an important role in pacifying Vata Vyadhis. Due to the hurry in day-to-day life, people are busy with their routines and have no time to undergo the full Panchakarma treatment, whereas Abhyanga plays an important role in pacifying Vata disorders in a short period of time (only 5–35 minutes). The ultimate goal of any Abhyanga is the achievement of symptom-free movement and function and to subside vitiated Vata Dosha. The present article explains Abhyanga in totality.
Key words: Abhyanga, Vata Vyadhis
