A qualified physician is the one who is well acquainted with the principles of treatment, is learned and skilled in the practice of  [[Ayurveda]], and is known for promptness of action. A patient obtaining treatment in the form of emesis or purgation from such a physician, becomes healthy and attains happiness. On the other hand, if the patient receives treatment from a pretentious & ignorant physician, he subjects himself to potential complications because of excessive or inadequate treatment. [3-4]

For those weakened by purification therapy, restoration of one’s health could be done by prescribing a nourishing diet regimen that would include ''ghee'', relishing soup (including preparations with meat), and milk. The patient should also be advised massage, bath, and evacuative and unctuous enema. This process of purification followed by rejuvenation or restoration of one’s health bestows happiness and longevity to the patient. [22-23]

Discordance of the causative factors results in disequilibrium of the tissue elements (''dhatus'') of the body. Conversely, concordance of tissue elements is restored by means of restoring the concordance of causative factors. However, the resolution / destruction of the existing always happens naturally in the course of time. [27]

There is always a cause for the manifestation of beings but none exists for their annihilation. However, some scholars are of the opinion that the noncontinuance of their causative factors is the very cause of their annihilation. [28]

Therapeutics therefore consists of measures or operations by way of which concordance of the tissue elements can be sustained and this (achieving concordance of tissue elements) constitutes the duty of the physician. Therapy is administered with the sole objective of ensuring that no discordance prevails in tissue elements and that there is sustenance of continued concordance. [34-35]

By abstaining from factors that give rise to discordance and practicing those that promote concordance, the discordant elements do not persist and concordance is maintained. As the well-equipped physician effects the production of balanced tissue elements by means of his expertise, he is regarded as the bestower of bodily health, happiness and longevity. By virtue of his aptitude to bestow physical happiness and longevity the physician is regarded as the donor of virtue, wealth and desires belonging to this mundane world and the world eternal. [36-38]
