=== Abstract ===

Kshatakshina is a condition with kshaya (wasting, debility, emaciation) due to injury/trauma. Trauma is ~~usualy~~ from external injury but in the present context this term signifies rupture of lung tissue due to exogenous as well as endogenous causes. The etiology includes significant exertion beyond one’s capacity. The disease shows close resemblance with rajayakshma in pathogenesis, as both involve anuloma kshaya (the depletion of dhatus takes place in the direction of their nourishment i.e. rasa then rakta then mamsa and so on) and pratiloma kshaya (depletion of dhatus in the direction opposite to their nourishment i.e. shukra then majja then asthi and so on ). Nourishment therapy is the principle of management in ~~kshata kshina~~. Various formulations to regain strength and replenishment of depleted tissues are described in this chapter.
