Abhayanga with the various sneha dravyas(oil) is the most used best remedy for the vata roga which is commonly practiced in the treatment of vipadika. Nimba beeja taila has tikata, ushna, laghu, snigdha and kushthaghna gun which increases the activity of oil as vatashamana and kushthaghana property when it is used for padabhayanga i.e, oil massage.
