There are certain situations in which ''snehana'' (oleation) and ''swedana'' (sudation) ''karma'' may not be necessary before administering bio-purificatory measures. In suitable cases and at appropriate times, a physician is required to eliminate, vitiated factors from gastro-intestinal tract, dominated by ''kapha'', responsible for causing fever by using emetic therapy. In this case emesis is administered even without oleation and sudation therapy.

Administration of fatty substances either through the internal route or external route is referred to as snehana chikitsa (oleation). Before evacuation, oleation helps in the mobilization of vitiated factors from the site of morbidity to the site of elimination.

These two preliminary procedures are termed as purvakarma and help in easy and effective administration of the five eliminatory procedures of panchakarma. These preliminary procedures do not eliminate vitiated factors out of the body, whereas panchakarma (five eliminatory) therapies have direct role in expelling out vitiated factors. Hence these two preliminary procedures cannot be enumerated under panchakarma. [15]
