It is a massage based on the diagnosis of constitution, age, type of disease, season and the predominance of doshas. For a Vata constitution it is advisable to use sesame oil or almond oil; for a Pitta constitution, use of coconut and sandalwood oil is advisable. Kapha constitution people require a dry massage. This can be done with the powders of chickpea, horsegram or dry and hot herbal powders like calamus. Similarly hot oils like mustard can be used in small quantities for Kapha people.
