A continuation of the preceding [[Upakalpaniya Adhyaya]] and elaboration on the remaining aspects of purification processes and their prerequisites which were not fully dealt there.The word ''prabhrita'' is derived from the verbal root ''bhr'' which suggests the sense of supporting, nourishing and offering. Thus, ''chikitsaprabhrita'' is applied to mean that physician who is well equipped in terms of qualities and instruments and who can play proper supporting role in the management of diseases. The chapter emphasizes upon the need for a proficient and well equipped physician to ensure flawless treatment. The patient is also expected to be intelligent enough to be able to identify a good physician. The word ''virechana'' is used often for ''vamana'' and ''samshodhana'' as well. Clinical features of ''samyak yoga'' (appropriate application of a procedure), ''ayoga'' (underapplication) and ''atiyoga'' (overapplication), and their management, have also been described. Diseases, their therapeutic response (so that they do not reoccur) and management of post-therapy cachexia have also been addressed in this chapter. ''Svabhavaparamavada'' is a phenomenon of natural destruction of health and disease.  There is a continuous process of degeneration and regeneration of body tissues. The process of regeneration is known to great extent but the cause of degeneration and death is not known.
