Question

Should Snehana Karma be performed in Urustambha?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only during daytime
• D. Only after meals

Hint:

Urustambha is the ONLY Vata-dominant disease where Snehana and Basti are prohibited. Think of it as "Frozen Thighs" due to grease; you need to dry the grease (Rukshana), not add more oil.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Recall Urustambha.
Urustambha is a Kapha-Meda dominant disorder causing stiffness and heaviness in the thighs
Step 2: Recall the treatment principle.
Since Snehana, oleation therapy, increases Kapha and Meda, it aggravates rather than relieves this condition
Step 3: State the answer.
So Snehana Karma should not be performed in Urustambha
\[ \boxed{No} \]
