Snana or herbal bath in Ayurveda

Snana or herbal bath is not an Ayurvedic treatment and is viewed in Ayurveda as a daily activity, after an oil massage called Abhaynga. Oil should be applied all over the body and sensitive parts like face, ears and soles of feet should be massaged gently. Cleansing agents like green gram powder can be used. The water can be boiled with medicinal herbs.
