Ayurvedic therapeutics are categorized broadly under two categories like reducing (Apatarpana) or nourishing (Santarpana); It is further classified into six types: [[Langhana]] (Fasting, reducing), [[Brimhana]] (nourishing), [[Rukshana]] (drying), [[Stambhana]] (astringent/styptic), [[Snehana]] (oleation), and [[Swedana]] (sudation).
