Now we will expound the “Reducing and nourishing therapies” chapter, said Lord Atreya. [1-2]

To initiate a discussion, Lord Atreya addressed to his six disciples, who are dedicated to a life of penance and learning and who are led by Agnivesha, “He indeed is the true physician who knows the timely use of therapies to produce strength, dryness, unctuous, sweating and astringent effects.” Once Lord Atreya had spoken, Agnivesha asked the following questions, “O Thou, our worshipful preceptor, Sir, what are the therapies that are ''Langhana'' (reducing), ''Brimhana'' (nourishing), ''Rukshana'' (dryness-causing), ''Snehana'' (oleation) and, ''Swedana'' (sudation), and ''Stambhana'' (astringent/styptic)? Who are ﬁt for this, O beloved teacher? You may kindly tell us all about them, and you may also tell brieﬂy about the symptoms of proper application, improper application, and over-application of these six therapies.” [3-8]

Those who are suffering from excessive vitiation of ''kapha, pitta,'' blood and waste products, are afflicted with obstructed ''vata'' and who have bulky and strong bodies should be treated using ''shodhana'' (purificatory) procedures of ''Langhana''.

Signs of adequate and excess ''Stambhana'' (astringent/styptic) therapy:

Properly administered ''stambhana'' helps the patient to regain his strength and get rid of afflicted diseases as told earlier.

Excessive administration of ''stambhana'' causes blackish discoloration, stiffness in body parts, uneasiness, the stiffness of jaw, feeling of constriction in cardiac region, and constipation. [39-40]

The signs and symptoms of all these six therapies, if inadequately administered, leave the ''doshas'' unpaciﬁed. Rather, they get aggravated.

As there are many combinations of ''dosha'', these therapies also have multiple variations. However, the number of these therapies do not exceed than six, just like ''doshas'' are three in number. [43]
