==== Proper season and time for ''sneha'' consumption [verse 18-21] ====

 

The proper season for consumption of a ''sneha'' depends upon the physiological dominance of ''dosha'' in the body during that particular season, as well as the inherent properties of the ''sneha''. On the basis of its inherent properties, ''ghee'' is indicated in ''sharada'' (autumn) season, when ''pitta dosha'' is increased. Muscle fat and bone marrow do not possess much hot or cold potency, and hence are advised in ''sadharana kala'' (i.e. seasons that are not very hot or cold), except in ''Chaitra'' month (mid-March to mid-April) when it may vitiate ''kapha dosha''. Oils are the best medicines for ''vata'', hence they are recommended for consumption in the ''pravritta'' (early rainy) season. These rules are to be followed universally according to seasonal and temperature variations. If this is not followed, then complications in oleation therapy could be observed.
