Above described six therapies are grouped into "Apatarpana" ([[langhana]], or reducing) and "Santarpana" ([[brimhana]], or nourishing). In "Apatarpana"– lightening, dryness, and sudation therapies, and in "Santarpana"– nourishing, unctuousness, and astringent therapies have been mentioned. (3-8)

The ''Rukshana'' (dryness) therapy produces dryness, roughness, and coarseness. In unctuous therapy, fluidity is due to liquefaction or melting or dissolution of ''dosha, dhatu,'' and ''mala''. The mode of action of sudation therapy is due to warmth or internal heat produced by therapy. The mode of action of astringent therapy is due to inhibition of mobility and flow of ''dosha, dhatu,'' and ''mala''. Here the meaning to be understood is that the materials - ''dosha, dhatu,''and ''mala,'' which are flowing by slow or fast in rate by nature, to be checked or stopped. This condition refers only to the effects of ''atisara'' (diarrhea), ''raktasrava'' (bleeding), ''visha'' (poisoning), ''daha'' (burning), and ''vedana'' (pain). The drugs described here for each therapy are understood to possess such qualities as associated with them. There are, however, exceptional cases. For example, ''pippali'' and ''bhallataka'' have ''ushna guna'' (heat), but their action is ''Brimhana''. ''Priyangu'' is ''sheeta guna'' (cool) but has ''Langhana'' effect.
