Our body is made up of different types of cells and each cell membrane is made up of phospholipids, lipid-soluble substances that can easily cross the cell membrane because of this the base of the medicine that we use is in lipid form (medicated oils).

When the procedure starts, medicated oil crosses the cell membrane through the skin, and the functions of phospholipids will increase and act as a carrier for various cellular elements or impurities which are responsible for the formation of diseases,

The lukewarm oil will increase the temperature to more than 2 to 3 in the localized area, by which vasodilatation will happen and the blood circulation will increase and necessary oxygen and nutrition materials are supplied and the free radicals which are responsible for the disease will be removed and helps to remove the congestion of the lungs and reduces the breathlessness.

This therapy produces a sedative effect because of the pharmacological action of the used medicine like anti-inflammatory action, analgesic action, muscle relaxant, decongestant activity etc. It also acts as a counter-irritant which is the thermal stimulus and may affect the pain sensation.

It also induces muscle relaxation and increases the efficiency of muscle activity as the increased blood supply ensures the optimum condition for muscle contraction because of its therapeutic action of the medicine and procedure.
