For providing treatment, physician should consider the strength of patient, severity of disease, prakriti (constitution), vikriti (nature of abnormalities), potency of drugs, season for purification therapy, and the status of the patients in context to use of drugs.

''Kala'' (time) has been considered of two types viz. year aspect and status of the patient. The year has been divided into two, three, six, twelve or even more parts according to nature of action (to be taken). Now, dividing into six, the action will be said. ''Hemanta'' (early winter), ''grishma'' (summer) and ''varsha'' (rainy season) these are the three seasons characterised by cold, heat and rains. In between them, there are other three seasons having common characters as ''pravrit'' (early rain), ''sharada'' (autumn) and ''vasanta'' (spring). ''Pravrit'' denotes the early rain; ''varsha'' is the continuation of the same. Thus, these six divisions of the seasons have been made for the purpose of evacuative therapy.[125]

The therapy administered after or before the (opportune) time is not effective because time determines the sufficiency to the administration of therapy.[128]

=== Qualities of a teacher ===
Teacher influences the life of a student. A teacher should have complete theoretical and practical knowledge of [[Ayurveda]]. The qualities of an ideal teacher are described in the text. Furthermore, keeping the competency of medical education in mind, the teacher should have knowledge of contemporary sciences and should behave with care and unbiased to the students. Teacher should not be egoistic and jealous. He should enjoy his teaching and not feel burden of teaching even if he needs to repeat. He should understand the lifestyle, psychiatric and body constitution of his patients and convey the same to his students. Significance of each symptom and sign seen in patient should be noted with help of sense organs and the same clinical methods should be explained to the students.

And although small and lean in size is able to lift more than its weight due to ''asthisarata'' present in it.

The effect of a drug depends upon its interaction with the body tissues. If it is not suitable to the body tissues, then adverse reaction may occur or drug may not be effective. Drug resistance also needs to be considered under the heading of ''satmya'' because it is observed that to a person who has developed resistance to certain antibiotics does not offer response to such medicament thus not attaining successful result in the person. Nowadays culture study is used to understand the usefulness of antibiotics in the patient. Therefore the suitability of the patient must be considered before prescribing a medicine.

''Aturavastha'' or the phase of disease in patient also matters in treatment as seen in context of ''jwara'' wherein in ''kashaya'' (decoction) should not be administered for seven days or till amapachana does not take place. This interprets that the body of patient shall be able to metabolize the drugs. In case of ''jwara'', the ''doshas'' are too vitiated with the poor status of ''agni'', therefore the body is unable to metabolize even the drugs also. Therefore ''langhana'' (fasting) is the first treatment in ''jwara''. In nutshell, the medicines shall be prescribed considering the phase of disease and status of the patient.

''Mana''/''satva'' (mind) is said to be ''tantraka'' (technical operator) as the one who is ''preraka'' (inspirer) or ''dharaka'' (owner). ''Mana'' is the initiator of all activity but it can carry out its action in conjunction with ''atma'' only. If ''mana'' is weak it is unable to tolerate the symptoms of disease and he/she exaggerates those. If the doctor makes the mistake of considering the inferior mental strength of patient with severe disease depending on presentation of symptoms and gives strong medicine then he may end up with complication.
