Abstract

Snehapana is an internal administration of sneha (medicated or non-medicated) has an important therapeutic application in Ayurveda. This therapy aims to prepare the body for Shodhana karma and helps in bringing the doshas from Shakha (peripheral tissues) to koshtha so that they can expel out easily. Accha sneha pana is superior type of internal oleation. Digestion of sneha is all depending upon the Agni bala. Digestion and absorption of sneha shows various physiological changes in the body. Adahstad sneha darshanam is a classical sign of Samyak snigdha lakshana. Mode of action of sneha in koshtha and its relationship with bile salts and lipid metabolism process should be thoroughly studied for the success of snehapana therapy.

Summary

Discussion

Fat ingestion General steps of fat digestion – Fat reaches primary part of small intestine. As quantity of lipids became inversely proportionate to quantity of concentrated bile salts, major portion of lipids not get emulsified, resulting in reduce action of lipase on them which causes residual undigested fats in small and large intestine which passed in stool and expel out of our body undigested In our terms we called it adahstad sneha darshana. Accha snehapan in concentration of [30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210] ml/gm gets digested stepwise but at one point it becomes inversely proportionate to bile salts concentration that day we get steatorrhea. We called it as Samyak Sneha Lakshana. As the bile salts works to digest the lipids in the same manner we can say Agni works to digest the acchasneha
