Oil Bath & Rasnadi Choornam:

Whole body Oil bath (Abhyanga) is a weekly twice affair for both men and women in hot

countries. That practice is slowly getting forgotten by the new age men & women as they move from their native places to bigger cities.

Note that, the amount of time that one needs to let the oil soak in the body depends on the individual body and hence if you are starting new or after a long break, you can start with 5 minutes of soaking the body in oil, then take bath. Observe whether it is making your body just cool enough or making you to catch cold and sneeze. Adjust the oil soaking timing, so that it suits your body condition. If you are prone to catch cold due to oil bath, you can mitigate that using Rasnadi choornam.
