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.

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 getting over-moistened when water is poured over it quickly, similarly the body expels fat that has been consumed very quickly. [96-97]
