Swedana helps to dissolve Shleshma. It makes the channels soft, by which Vatadi Doshas and other contents can flow through in their normal directions. It increases the secretion of vitiated Shleshma thorough the channel. So, due to Ushna Guna of Swedana, Kapha Dosha gets liquefied. When lukewarm oil enters into the Shabdavaha Srotas, network of Srotas carry the Taila towards the desired sites and cleanses the channel. By its Shodhana property of its ingredients, probably it removes the Ama at the cellular level and pacifies the vitiated Vata and Kapha Dosha

Due to Stroto Shodhana and Vata Kapha Shamana, Avarana and Sanga of Vata & Kapha Dosha is removed and nutrition is brought to the respective sites.
