*''Gandusha'':
''Gandusha'' (filling the mouth to its full capacity with liquid without allowing its movement in oral cavity) with various sweet and sour drugs is useful in thirst. ''Madhura rasa'' pacify ''pitta'' whereas ''amla rasa'' is cold on external application and increases salivation so both have soothing effect in dry mouth.(Su.Su.42/10) Use of ''amla'' drugs in the form of external application has also been advocated as they have cooling effect on touch. Thinking about cold things and environment is a part of psychotherapy which helps patient to combat desire of water.
