According to Caraka, excellence in knowledge can be had by attending
on preceptors and studying scriptures. Purity in a physician helps the
patient by dint of its spiritual force. Reputation as infallible in
prescribing medicines is also one of the qualities of a physician and then
he says about medicine.
Abundance, suitability, multiple form and potency, are the four
qualities of medicament. 26
There are patients who are averse to the taking of the juice of a drug,
some others in paste (kalka) form. Similarly, there are certain diseases
where a medicament is required to be administered in a particular form.
For example, decoctions form a special therapy in the treatment of fever.
So it is necessary that the medicaments are amendable to preparations
according to various pharmaceutical processes. Moreover, medicaments
should be potent and free from infections and dampness.
