→What is Shuddha chikitsa
Acharya charaka in Nidanasthanam has defined 'Shuddha Chikitsa' as follows,<blockquote>प्रयोगः शमयेद्व्याधिं योऽन्यमन्यमुदीरयेत्| नासौ विशुद्धः, शुद्धस्तु शमयेद्यो न कोपयेत्|| (Cha. Samh. 8.23) <ref>Charaka Samhita ([http://niimh.nic.in/ebooks/ecaraka/?mod=read&h=vishuddha Nidanasthanam Adhyaya 8 Sutram 23])</ref></blockquote><blockquote>prayogaḥ śamayedvyādhiṁ yo'nyamanyamudīrayet| nāsau viśuddhaḥ, śuddhastu śamayedyo na kopayet||</blockquote>

== Right attitude of a physician during chikitsa ==
Ayurveda is a part of vedic literature. Although it is a system of medical knowledge, it maintains its sacred nature by advising a vaidya to always maintain the purity of his mind, body and emotions while treating any rogi (patient). Acharya Bhvamishra in Bhavaprakasha samhita dedicates few lines of verses to dictate how an attitude of a vaidya should be during chikitsa. He says that, a vaidya should never make a business of his service. <blockquote>नैव कुर्वीत लोभेन चिकित्सापुण्यविक्रयम् | ईश्वराणां वसुमतां लिप्सेतार्थं तु वृत्तये ||</blockquote><blockquote>चिकित्सितं शरीरं यो न निष्क्रीणाति दुर्मतिः | स यत्करोति सुकृतं सर्वं तद्भिषगश्नुते || </blockquote><blockquote>न देशो मनुजैर्हीनो न मुनष्या निरामयाः | ततः सर्वत्र वैद्यानां सुसिद्धा एव वृत्तयः || (Bhav. Samh. 1.38-40)<ref>Bhavapraksha Samhita (Purvakhanda 1.38-40)</ref></blockquote>Meaning:
