Seminar description

"Snehana" is a central term in Ayurveda and refers to the oiling of the body with warm, healing oil. It is an important technique that is used in both preventative and therapeutic applications. The word "snehana" comes from the Sanskrit word "sneha", which means "oil" or "love". It therefore has a double meaning: on the one hand, it stands for the physical oiling of the body and, on the other, for "caressing" or "nourishing" - as if the oil gives the body affection and warmth.

The meaning of Snehana in Ayurveda

1. Nourishing and caring for the body: In Ayurvedic medicine, oiling is seen as a way of nourishing the skin and strengthening the tissues. By using warm oils, the skin becomes more permeable to the healing ingredients and detoxification is supported.
2. Balancing the doshas: Snehana helps to restore the balance of the three doshas (vata, pitta and kapha) by harmonizing underlying imbalances in the body. The oiling has a particularly calming effect on Vata, which is responsible for dryness and restlessness in the body.
3. Promoting blood circulation and detoxification: Snehana promotes blood circulation, releases blockages and supports the removal of toxins (ama) from the body. This technique helps to activate the lymphatic system and accelerate the detoxification processes.
4. Calming the nervous system: The gentle massage of the oil has a deeply relaxing and calming effect on the nervous system. Snehana is particularly valued for stress, anxiety or sleep disorders, as it promotes inner peace and balance.
5. Promotes the life energy (ojas): Ayurveda sees oil as a source of "ojas", the life energy responsible for vitality, immunity and mental clarity. Regular oiling promotes ojas and supports a long, healthy life.

Application of Snehana

In its gentleness, Snehana is a powerful and holistic method in Ayurveda that nourishes the body, mind and soul. It not only promotes physical health, but also has a deeply spiritual dimension, strengthening the sense of security and well-being. The practice helps to cleanse the body, calm the nervous system and restore inner balance.
