Step 1

The thick dough is prepared using the black gram paste. The shape of the dough mould could be either circular, oval or rectangular as per the targetted area where the patient is having pain.

Step 2

Once the patient lies down, the dough is placed as a rim around the targetted area.

Step 3

The edges of the ring of dough are fixed to the back using water that protects it from slipping off. This is like creating a reservoir on the back to store medicinal oils.

Step 4

The oil remains within the confinements of the dough mould. Eventually, the therapeutic properties of the oil permeate and reach the tissues.
