Changes

The recommended dose of ''sneha'' would be different for every individual, depending upon the individual’s ''agni'' (digestive capacity), ''koshtha'' (bowel habit) etc. However, for ease in therapeutic applicability, specific doses in ''pala, karsha'' etc. are advised by Arunadatta in his commentary on Ashtangahridaya ([[Sutra Sthana]] Chapter 16/17). Two ''pala'' (96 ml) as minimum, four ''pala'' (192ml) as medium, and six ''pala'' (288ml) as maximum dose have been suggested. Sharangadhara (Madhyama Khanda 1/7) and Bhavamishra (Bhavaprakash I-79 iv. 6) suggest the quantities of one ''pala'' (48ml), three ''karsha'' (36ml) and two ''karsha'' (24ml) as the best, medium and least doses respectively.[verse 29-30]

In a research on 29 individuals, it is observed that increasing dose of fat after considering status of [[agni]] and bowel habit of individuals gives better results in oleation therapy. The onset of various symptoms of adequate oleation occur in a sequential manner which is helpful in predicting the duration of oleation and signs of oleation in gastro intestinal tract and peripheral tissues.<ref>Patil VC, Thakar AB, Baghel MS.
