To conclude, Chakrapani further reinforces which foods should be used and which should not be used, regimen of physical exercise etc. Treatment of diseases, which have not yet manifested is by elimination of ''doshas'' at appropriate time. Treatments of manifested diseases are purificatory and rejuvenation therapies, and use of aphrodisiacs. (63-66)
