While the preceding chapter ([[Apamarga Tanduliya]]) dealt with internal application of therapies in the form of [[Panchakarma]], ''yavagu'' etc, this chapter deals with the external application of medications. Skin diseases such as ''kushtha'' are systemic disorders and considered a ''maharoga'' (major disease). They require internal cleansing and detoxification treatments prior to external treatments – and hence, the sequence of the chapters. Without prior internal treatment, local treatments have limited efficacy.
