Because the toxins are situated in the different parts of the body or deep inside the tissues, so with those treatments like Abyangam and Kizhi (oiletaion and fomentation) the toxins which are situated in different parts of the body will move to the stomach and then with appropriate orifices, the toxins are removed.
