The patient should be made to sit on the Droni with legs extended. Cotton swab (Taila Pichu) is to be applied over the scalp after soaking in suitable oil and Karnapurana (application of oil in the ears) is to be done. The rolled cotton cloth has to be tied above the ears around the head at the level of forehead. Ears should be plugged with cotton and oil is to be applied all over the body. Gentle massage is to be performed by two masseurs attending either side of the patient.

The oil for Kayaseka is to be heated by keeping the vessel on a hot water bath. The temperature of oil must be comfortable to the patient. Then piece of cloth is to be dipped in the warm oil and squeezed over body with the right hand Simultaneously gentle massage is done with left hand. The oil should flow in uniform stream from the thumb facing down wards from a height 12 to 20 cms, or as per the condition of the disease / patient. The process is to be continued in seven positions as given below.

Basically three positions Sitting, Supine and Prone are described but practically following seven positions can be followed:

1. Sitting
2. Supine
3. Left lateral
4. Prone
5. Right lateral
6. Supine
7. Sitting

After Kayaseka, the body of the patient is to be massaged gently and oil to be wiped off with clean towel over the scalp and body. Then fresh oil is to be applied all over the body and covered with blanket or cotton cloth. Rest is advised for few minutes followed by hot water bath. Rasnadi churna is to be applied over the scalp and Gandharva hasthadi kwatha (60 ml) is to be given orally.

The duration of the procedure may be 45 to 60 minutes and usually performed for 7, 14 or 21 days according to the condition of the disease/ patient.

It is desirable to use fresh medicated oil for Kayaseka every day. But as it is very costly, the same oil may be reheated, filtered and used for further three days. Another quantity of fresh oil is again to be taken and used as before for the next three days. The quantity of oil preserved after 1 and 2nd course of treatment can be used for the 7 day after heating and removing the sediments. Being completed the course of seven days; the residual oil is to be discarded.
