Snehapanam - #6988
I’m currently undergoing Panchakarma therapy, and I’ve reached the stage of Snehapanam, where I’m consuming medicated ghee. While I understand that this process is essential for internal oleation and preparing the body for detoxification, I have a few concerns and questions about it. I’ve been consuming the medicated ghee for three days now, and I feel very full and slightly nauseous. Is this normal during Snehapanam, or does it indicate that I need to adjust the dosage? How do practitioners determine when to stop the ghee consumption phase—is it based on specific symptoms like clear burps or soft stools? I’ve also noticed some bloating and heaviness since starting Snehapanam. Are these common side effects, and do they indicate that the therapy is working? Should I adjust my diet or avoid certain foods while undergoing this phase? Another question I have is about the benefits of Snehapanam. Does it only prepare the body for Panchakarma, or does it also provide additional benefits like improving digestion and joint lubrication? Lastly, how do I ensure that the results of Snehapanam are maintained after completing the Panchakarma therapy? Are there specific post-treatment guidelines to follow?
