Snehan Age Difference - #5523
I recently heard about snehan therapy as part of Panchakarma, but I’m confused if it’s suitable for all age groups. Does the snehan age difference really matter? I’m asking because my grandmother is 72, and I’m 28, and we both want to try snehan therapy for different reasons. She’s dealing with joint pain and stiffness, while I’m more interested in detoxification and stress relief. Can snehan age difference affect the way the therapy works? Is it more effective for younger people, or does snehan work equally well for elderly individuals? Also, are there specific types of snehan therapy based on age? For example, should oil or ghee-based snehan be used differently for my grandmother versus me? I’ve read that snehan age difference might influence the duration and intensity of the therapy, but I’m not sure how this is decided. If anyone has experience with snehan therapy for different age groups, could you share what worked best for you? Does snehan age difference also impact the type of oil or herbs used in the treatment? I’d like to know if there are precautions we should take when doing snehan for elderly individuals.
