<div style="text-align:justify;">

<p style="text-align:justify;">This chapter deals with the preparations of ''sudha'' for the purpose of [[virechana]] (therapeutic purgation). ''Sudha'' is a strong purgative in comparison to all other drugs discussed in previous chapters. The chapter includes synonyms of ''sudha'', its therapeutic utility, varieties, limitations for the usage, methods of collection, purification, preparation and administration of ''sudha ksheera'' and other recipes viz ''vati'' (tablets), ''leha'' (linctus) etc. along with total twenty different formulations of the same drug to suit different needs of the physician. Even though it is contraindicated for ''mridukoshthi'' (sensitive to mild laxatives) its usage has been advised here by altering its form to reduce its untoward effect which is a novel approach. </p>

Many a times it becomes difficult to preserve the fresh drug for the longer duration, in such cases, drug is used as ''avaleha'' (linctus) or ''arishta'' (medicated liquor) which can be stored for use later. In this form drug is palatable and is easily taken by the individual.[18-,19]With addition of ''kashaya'' of ''dashamoola, kulattha, yava, shyamadi ghrita'' may be taken.[Cha.Sa. Sutra Sthana 8/13] Three recipes of ''sudha'' according to their use with three different adjuvants can be given. Drug is mixed with either vegetable or meat juice or with ghee and given. Those who are completely non vegetarian, drug can be either given with fish or dry meat. It can be given as either ''ghrita''(ghee) or ''sura''(alcohol) form. ''Ghrita'' is taken with juice of ''amalaki'' as adjuvant which helps in better absorption of the drug.<ref> Bhavamishra, Bhavaprakasha, edited by K R Shrikantha Murthy,? ed., Varanasi:Chaukhambha Krishnadas Academy, 2009,p.no 580</ref>[ 19-20]
