After applying Mahanarayana oil, let it soak for at least a half an hour and then take a hot bath or shower. If you take a bath, add 1/3 cup of ginger powder and 1/3 cup of baking soda into the bathing water to further relax and detoxify your muscles.

Avoid gassy foods like most beans and stop raw and cold food and drinks.
