They require internal cleansing and purification treatments prior to external treatments – and hence, the sequence of the chapters.

	This chapter includes thirty-two types of formulations in the form of powder or paste (''churna/pradeha''). The paste is prepared by mixing the powder with oil, ''ghrita'' (ghee, or clarified butter), milk, butter milk or cow urine etc. Occasionally, oil smearing in the affected part is a pre-requisite for such application of powder (''avachurnana'' and ''udvartana''), so that the drug used gets in contact with the oily surface and enhances the rate of penetration. Different kinds of skin diseases and conditions like ''shopha'' (swelling), pain in the abdomen, head and flanks, ''vatarakta'' (painful inflammation of joints), etc. are discussed here for external cleansing treatments.

	The three types of external applications viz. ''pralepa, pradeha'' and ''alepa'' are mentioned in this chapter. ''Pralepa'' is a form which is applied cold, in a thin layer irrespective of its absorbability. It is indicated in vitiation of ''pitta'' and ''rakta dosha''.''Pradeha'' is thick and it is generally applied in the form of bolus. It is applied in cold in case of ''pitta-rakta'' vitiation and hot in cases of ''vata-kapha'' vitiation. ''Alepa'' is the medium form which is neither too thin nor too thick. Thus the thickness or thinness of paste application determines its specific effect. Temperature of paste also plays role in determining effect of application. The underlying mechanism may be due to absorption through sweat pores.		The three types of external applications viz. ''pralepa, pradeha'' and ''alepa'' are mentioned in this chapter.

	The drugs mentioned in verse 3-7 are found effective as ''kushthaghna'' (effective in skin diseases), ''kandughna'' (effective in pruritus) and ''arshoghna'' (effective in hemorrhoids) ''mahakashaya''. ''Kuṭaja'' is indicated in bleeding hemorrhoids while ''bhallataka'' is indicated in non-bleeding ones. By adding these two drugs of opposing action, their spectrum of action is enhanced considerably. Their ability to penetrate the affected areas is enhanced further when admixed with ''gopitta'' and mustard oil. This combination is particularly effective in treating rectal fistula and hemorrhoids. Sulfur is effective in treating most of the skin diseases and ''neem'' is a rich source of sulfur. Minerals like ''manahshila, kasisa'' and ''praval'' are used commonly for treating skin diseases because of their richness in sulfur. In psoriasis there is a deficiency of fatty acids, sulfur and immunoglobulins in the skin. Oil, ghrita, milk, ''neem'' (Azadirachta Indica) and ''amrita'' (Tinospora cordifolia) preparations help in correcting those deficiencies. The use of ''atasi'' (flax) poultice has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect in ''~~vata vyadhi~~''. ''Amrita'' (Tinospora cordifolia) and ''yashtimadhu'' (liquorice) have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties and are used for ''vatarakta''. ''Vesavara'' and ''dashamoola'' are used as analgesics. ''Dashamoola'' has analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-platelet properties. ''Shirisha'' (Albizia lebbeck) is indicated as the best drug for treating dermal toxicity.
