<p style="text-align:justify;">In continuation with the earlier chapter, the main course of treatments for the morbidly obese and the extremely thin/skinny/emaciated persons are described in this chapter. Ayurvedic therapeutics are categorized broadly under two categories like reducing (Apatarpana) or nourishing (Santarpana); It is further classified into six types: [[Langhana]] (Fasting, reducing), [[Brimhana]] (nourishing), [[Rukshana]] (drying), [[Stambhana]] (astringent/styptic), [[Snehana]] (oleation), and [[Swedana]] (sudation). Besides providing insights into these therapeutic measures, this chapter also describes specific advantages of these therapeutic procedures, pharmacological actions of properties and their indications in detail. The features of optimally administered techniques while understanding the consequences of their over and under-application are also included. </br>

The word ''adau'' (आदौ) is used for disorders caused by a moderate intensity of [[kapha]] and [[pitta]], such as chhardi (vomiting). In these conditions, after reducing [[dosha]] by digestive medicines ([[pachana]]), pacification of [[dosha]] (samshamana) shall be done. But sometimes the [[pachana]] method may not be enough to treat the disease, requiring other methods of [[langhana]] to be explored. In strong people where the diseases manifest with the mild or little intensity of [[dosha]], any treatment course includes vyayama (exercise) and maruta atapa sevana(exposure to wind and the sun).

The increase of [[dhatus]] takes place naturally in the winter season (shishira ritu) due to visarga kala (winter solstice). This increase in [[dhatus]] occurs in conjunction with [[kapha]]. At this juncture, the rational application of [[langhana]] does not produce any adverse effect in people afflicted with [[vata]] diseases or possessing [[vata]] [[Prakriti]].14/10-11]

The three categories of [[langhana]] according to the intensity of disease and [[dosha]] aggravation are described in detail in the third chapter of [[Vimana Sthana]].
