→Sixteen roots used for shodhana (purification):
Per the school of Punarvasu (Lord Atreya), roots of 16 plants and fruits of 19 plants are used as drugs. Similarly, principal unctuous (''mahasneha'') substances are of four types and main salts are of five types. Urine and milk for medicinal purposes are obtained from 8 different animals and six plants are used for purification (''shodhana''). The physician who knows how to use all these materials for curing the disease is the expert physician [74-76].
