''Apatarpana'' (depletion) is of three kinds viz, ''langhana'' (reducing therapy), ''langhana pachana'' (reducing therapy along with therapies for digestion of ''ama dosha'') and ''doshavasechana'' (elimination of vitiated ''doshas'' from the body). (A detailed treatment of this topic has already been provided in the [[Sutra Sthana]] section of the [[Charaka Samhita]].)

''Langhana'' is indicated in disorders of mild morbidity. Through this procedure, digestive fire and ''vata'' is stimulated that helps reduce ''alpa dosha'' (mild vitiation of ''doshas'') like a small quantity of water exposed to the sun and wind dries up.

''Langhana pachana'' is indicated in disorders of moderate morbidity. Through this combined therapy involving ''langhana'' and stimulated digestion, disorders of moderate morbidity are dried up “like a sink that is acted upon by the sun and wind on the one hand, and by a sprinkling of dust and ashes on the other”.

In disorders of severe morbidity, there is only one course available, which is the elimination of toxic ''doshas''. There is no remedy for overflowing of a pool except for creating a breach in its field barrier.

Once the state of a disease is assessed, the physician should remember that even if elimination therapies could be felt as necessary or required, other forms of depletion therapies and nourishing therapies should not be administered to such patients as those who have not been absolved of allegations against them, those who are without wealth or attendants, those who do not follow their doctors’ instructions, those who are violent, those who are jealous, those who take keen pleasure in vicious acts, those whose strength, muscle bulk, and blood have been excessively depleted, those who are suffering from incurable diseases, and those who exhibit fatal prognostic signs. By treating such patients, the physician commits sin and attracts defamation and ignominy. [43-45]
