The courses of treatment for the ''sthula'' (obese) and the ''krisha'' (too thin/skinny/emaciated), and of various other diseases form the basis of Ayurvedic therapeutics and is the theme of the present chapter. Ayurvedic therapeutics are reducing (''Apatarpana'') or nourishing (''Santarpana''), and are of six types: ''Langhana'' (reduction), ''Brimhana'' (nourishing), ''Rukshana'' (drying), ''Stambhana'' (astringent/styptic), ''Snehana'' (oleation), and ''Swedana'' (sudation). Besides providing insights into these therapeutic measures, this chapter also describes specific qualities of these therapeutic procedures and their indications in detail. Finally, the reader would also expect to learn about features of optimally administered techniques while understanding the consequences of their over and under-application.
