This chapter deals with the preparations of ''sudha'' for the purpose of ''virechana'' (therapeutic purgation). ''Sudha'' is a strong purgative in comparison to all other drugs discussed in previous chapters. The chapter includes synonyms of ''sudha'', its therapeutic utility, varieties, limitations for the usage, methods of collection, purification, preparation and administration of ''sudha ksheera'' and other recipes viz ''vati'' (tablets), ''leha'' (linctus) etc. along with total twenty different formulations of the same drug to suit different needs of the physician. Even though it is contraindicated for ''mridukoshthi'' (sensitive to mild laxatives) its usage has been advised here by altering its form to reduce its untoward effect which is a novel approach.
