Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, has been a guiding light for individuals seeking holistic healing for centuries. Among the various practices within Ayurveda, Sneha Kalpana holds a significant place. Derived from the Sanskrit words “Sneha” meaning oil or fat and “Kalpana” meaning preparation, Sneha Kalpana Ayurveda refers to the preparation and administration of medicated oils or fats for therapeutic purposes. In the realm of Ayurveda, Sneha Kalpana is considered a vital tool in promoting overall well-being and rejuvenation. The process involves preparing herbal oils or ghee by infusing them with various medicinal herbs, following specific guidelines and proportions. These medicated oils or fats are then skillfully applied to the body through massages or other therapeutic techniques. The primary objective of Sneha Kalpana Ayurveda is to restore the balance of the doshas, the three fundamental energies that govern our physical and mental health. According to Ayurveda, an imbalance in the doshas leads to various ailments and diseases. Sneha Kalpana aims to pacify the aggravated doshas, thereby promoting harmony and vitality. In this review, an attempt has been made to explain about the history and general properties Sneha Kalpana.
