===== I. Action as a solvent =====
Fats acts as good solvent for many metabolic wastes & it enters the cells easily because cell membrane is made up of phospholipids. Compared to other non-unctous substances, fat materials stays in the body for a stipulated period without causing any harm & also possesses better permeability. The large quantity of fats administered before purification therapies do not undergo digestion and metabolism cycle because the sneha is intended to increase and channelize dosha towards koshtha.

According to Sushruta, the disease occurs due to dislodgement of vitiated doshas in the channels during their circulation in the body (Su.Su.24/10). Sneha administered internally reaches microchannels and acts as a solvent to remove the obstruction by dissolving doshas in it, resulting in the removal of obstructions in microchannels, which is one of the important steps in the treatment.
