This chapter on [[Shvayathu Chikitsa]] (treatment of swelling) follows the chapter on ''kshata-kshina'' because in both the diseases vital organs are involved. ''Charaka'' defines ''shvayathu'' as bulging (''utsedha'') from the skin and this chapter mainly deals with the management of various types of general swellings and local swellings such as ''pidika'' (papules and pustules), nodules (including ''gandhamala''), large swellings like ''galagandha'' (goiter), tumor etc are also described.
