The person is made to lie face down on the massaged table. Then a reservoir made of gram flour or wheat flour is placed over the affected area of the cervical region. Lukewarm medicated oil is poured into it and made to stay for at least 5-10 minutes. When the oil is cooled down, it is squeezed out using cotton swab and the oil is replaced with warm medicated oil.
