Black gram powder is to be mixed with sufficient quantity of water to make a thick paste (dough). It is then rolled into a flat slab like structure having length of about 45 to 60 cm, thickness of 2-3 cm and height 5 cm. Selected patient should undergo Abhyanga (massage) all over the body and then Nadi sweda (Medicated steam) on the low back & legs. Patient is advised to lie down in prone position. The prepared dough is to be fixed on the lumbosacral area in a circular shape, taking care not to cause any leakage of oil.

The oil should be heated up to warmness over the water bath and poured slowly inside the ring. Its uniform temperature must be maintained throughout the process by replacing warm oil. The oil is to be kept for 30-40 minutes. After the prescribed time, oil is to be removed by dipping cotton and squeezing in a container. Dough can be removed afterwards, and the area is to be wiped off followed by cleaning with lukewarm water. Thereafter the patient is advised to take rest. Oil used once may be filtered and reused for next two days. 4th day the oil to be used should be fresh.
