<div style='text-align:justify;'>The action of the aushadha depends upon its potency.<ref>Shastri A D, editor, (1st ed.). Commentary Ayurveda Tattva Sandipika of Ambikadutta Shastri on Sushruta Samhita, Sutra Sthana; Dravyarasagunaviryavipakavigyaniya Adhyaya: Chapter 40, Verse 5. Varanasi: Chaukhamba Sanskrit Sansthan, 2015; 195.</ref> [Su. Sa. Sutra Sthana 40/5] Some scholars believed the potency to be of two types (hot and cold) while others believed it to be of eight types (cold, hot, oily, dry, clear, slimy, mild and sharp). For example, mahatpanchamula (combination of roots of Aegle marmelos, Clerodendrum phlomidis, Oroxylum indicum, Stereospermum suaveolens and Gmelina arborea) alleviate vata dosha due to their hot potency (since vata dosha is cold in property). Kulattha (Dolichos biflorus) and onion (Allium cepa) alleviate vata due to oily character (since vata is dry in property). Cane sugar (Saccharum officinarum) increases vata due to its cold potency. </div>
