The temporal region of the head includes the temporal-mandibular joint, the muscles and ligaments that surrounds and support it. The temporal-mandibular joint is made articulation between mandible (facial bone) and temporal bone (cranial bone) When the treatment procedure starts, the first organ which will be in contact with the medicine is the skin, Skin is a large, highly complex and structurally integrated organ. The component of the skin are cutaneous membrane associated with hairs, nails and exocrine glands, the cutaneous membrane has two components, superficial epithelium or epidermis and the underlying connective tissue of the dermis.
The Quality of the skin is supported by an extensive network of blood vessels, and sensory receptors that monitor touch, pressure, temperature and pain The temporal-mandibular region is surrounded by nerves, connective tissues, muscles and spinal segments.
Our body is made up of different types of cells and each cell membrane is made up of Phospholipids, lipid soluble substances can easily cross the cell membrane because of this the base of the medicine which we use is in lipid form (medicated oils) As the procedure starts, the medicated oil cross the cell membrane through the skin, and the functions of phospholipids will increase and act as a carrier for various cellular elements or impurities which are responsible for the formation of diseases, The Luke warm oil will increase the temperature to more than 2 to 3c in the localized area, by which vasodilatation will happen. As a result and the blood circulation will increase and necessary oxygen and nutrition materials are supplied. Thus the free radicals which are responsible for the disease will be removed.
