<p style='text-align:justify;'>While the preceding chapter (Apamarga Tanduliya) dealt with internal application of therapies in the form of Panchakarma, this chapter deals with the external application of medications. Thirty two types of external applications are enlisted in this chapter. The important indication is Kushtha (Skin diseases). These are systemic disorders considered as major disease (maharoga). They require internal cleansing and purification treatments prior to external treatments – and hence, the sequence of the chapters. Without prior internal treatment, local treatments have limited efficacy.  </p>
