Shadwidh Chikitsa consists of six types of prescribed treatments or therapies in the Ayurvedic practice. The six methods of Shadwidh Chikitsha are Langhan chikitsa, Brihan chikitsa, Rukshan chikitsa, Snehan chikitsa, Swedan chikitsa and Stanbhan chikitsa.

Langhan chikitsa: The Langhan Chikitsa of Shadwidh Chikitsha helps to lighten the body by applying a treatment technique for the body.

Brihan chikitsa: The treatment of Brihan chikitsa increases the mass and weight of the body.

Rukshan chikitsa: The rukshan chikitsa dries the body and makes it look thinner and leaner with absorption of all the body fluids.

Snehan chikitsa: In the snehan chikitsa, the body is lubricated with oils and ghee. The medicated oils used in the treatment offer good effect on the body. It helps to bring out the toxic effect and improves the metabolism of the cells.

Swedan chikitsa: The treatment in Shadwidh Chikitsha, which involves sudation, is known as swedan chikitsa. Thus, elimination of toxins and wastes through sweat glands takes place in this kind of treatment. This procedure helps the body pores to breathe and body tissues to function more fully.

Stanbhan chikitsa: Stambhan treatment in Shadwidh Chikitsha involves stopping the movement of vitiated doshas.
