Before the application of boluses, a gentle oil massage, known as Abhyangam, is performed for about 10 to 15 minutes. The warm boluses are then applied over the body in a series of seven different postures, ensuring consistent temperature maintenance around 46 degrees Celsius by reheating them as needed. After the treatment, the patient is covered with a thick blanket for approximately 30 minutes to allow the body to absorb the herbal properties fully. A hot water shower is recommended afterward to cleanse the skin and promote relaxation.
