The process of re-establishing the equilibrium of dhatu and dosha by a qualified physician is known as chikitsa | The process of re-establishing the equilibrium of ''dhatu'' and ''dosha'' by a qualified physician is known as ''chikitsa'' (therapeutics). Thus a physician and his team work together towards curing the pathology and bringing back homeostasis of the ''dhatu'' and ''dosha''. For example for treating ''kamala roga'' (jaundice), if ''virechana'' therapy is advised by the physician, if the potency of prescribed drugs is correct, if the nursing staff is trained to do the procedure, and if the patient is not afraid of the course of treatment prescribed, then an equilibrium of ''dosha'' and ''dhatu'' could be realized.
