MODE OF ACTION

This treatment acts as both snehana and swedana.
The action of taila dhara or pilizchil depends on its pressure, rhythmic steaming of the medicine, Pharmacological action of the medicine, local application of the heat and the timings of the treatment.
When the procedure starts because of the pouring of the medicated oil from a height of 4 inch the absorption of the medicine is very fast, and can penetrate the epidermis and this depends up on the lipid solubility of the drug and media, as human beings are made up of different cells and each cell membrane is made up of phospholipids and so the lipid soluble medicine can easily pass the cell membrane.
After reaching in to the cell membrane it causes partial rejuvenation of cell organelles and cell membrane and replaces their older components with new ones. Because of the temperature which is maintained during the treatment, vasodilatation happen which increased blood flows through the area so that the necessary oxygen and nutrition materials are supplied and waste products are removed because of increased blood supply. Due to the therapeutic action of the medicine the metabolism will increase and as a result the output of waste products from the cells are increased.
The skin has a battery of sensory receptors which respond to different stimuli such as touch, contact, temperature variation or pain, it reduces the nerve compression by relaxing the muscles which are surrounded by the nerves, by this the nerves can assume their normal work of transmitting messages to and from the brain and which improves functioning of the muscles and organs.
It also induces muscles relaxation and increases the efficiency of muscle action as the increased blood supply ensures the optimum condition for muscle contraction.
Healing Earth manages with a thorough understanding of the principles, to manage it properly without any mishaps, the physicians in our hospital are well experienced.
