Among all varieties of oils, sesame oil is considered the best and is ideal for giving strength and unctuousness. Castor oil is the best for ''virechana'' (purgation). It is pungent, ''ushna virya'' (hot potency), alleviates vitiated ''vata'' and ''kapha'', ''guru'' (dense, viscous or heavy) in nature and when used with astringent, sweet, bitter drugs it also helps mitigate aggrevated ''pitta''.

''Ghrita'' (clarified butter), oil (of sesame), ''vasa'' (muscle fat) and ''majja'' (bone marrow) are considered the best ''sneha''. Among these, ''ghrita'' is superior as it possesses the qualities of ''samskara'' i.e. blending with other substances having different properties without losing its own properties. [13]

Individuals with highly aggravated pitta in duodenum have excessive digestive strength, and therefore are able to digest or metabolize fat easily. Since their ''ojas'' gets displaced and their digestive power produces thirst, even great quantities of solid food consumption does not quench the fire stimulated by drinking fat, and therefore they do not find relief even with cold water. They suffer from the burning sensation of ''agni'' in them as if they have ingested snake venom.

Stupor, nausea, flatulence, fever, rigidity of the body, skin diseases, itching, pallor, edema, hemorrhoids, tastelessness, diseases of stomach and duodenum, feeling of numbness, loss of speech, abdominal pain, and various diseases related with ''ama'' could be caused by improper administration of ''sneha''. In these conditions, oleates should be ejected out of one’s system using emesis or sudation. The physician should then give mild purgation, after an interval of time, and also factoring in the severity of the disease and the condition and predisposition of the patient. Administering ''takrarishta'', using dry food items, drinking cow urine and consuming ''triphala'' are some of the medicines recommended for cure of complications caused by the consumption of ''sneha''.

For oleation of patients suffering from skin diseases, edema and diabetes, one should not use meat of animals either domesticated, or of marshy regions or those living in water. Jaggery, curd, milk and sesame seeds are also to be avoided. They should be given suitable fat boiled with ''pippali, haritaki'' or ''triphala''. The physician may prepare ''sneha'' by boiling it with ''draksha'' (grape), ''amalaki'' (emblica officinalis) or with sour curd added with ''vyosha'' (combination of black pepper, ginger and long pepper). The ''sneha'' processesd with decoction of ''yava'' (barley), ''kola'' (Bengal gram), ''kulattha'' (two flowered dolichos), ''yava kshara'' (''alakali'' prepared from ''yava''), ''sura''(beer), curd, milk and ''ghee'' is best in these cases. [91-94]

Just as a piece of cloth only absorbs water as much as it can and leaves off the excess, similarly ''agni'' (digestive power) digests fat as much as it can and expels the excess from the body. Just as a mud ball expels excess water without gettng over-moistened when water is poured over it quickly, similarly the body expels fat that has been consumed very quickly. [96-97]

''Sneha'' added with salt produces oleation quickly since salt is ''abhishyandi'' (produces more moisture in the tissues), not dry, subtle (enters minute pores), hot in potency and ''vyavayi'' (spreads to all parts quickly and then undergoes digestion). [98]
