Abhyaṅga (Masage) is nourishing. It makes the physique of a person good looking and proportionate. Nourishment is primarily seen on Māmsa Dhātu, which gives proportionate shape to the body.
Vyāyāma is also nourishing by increasing appetite and then increasing Dhātu by quantity and quality.
When qualitative nourishment is achieved, it is called as Sāratā (excellent quality of tissues). It also indicates the steadiness of the body tissues.
Increase in Ojas also results in Puṣṭi.
Я правильно понял, пуштида - питательный?
Швитра, получаеться, это витилиго?
А гхна - это убирающий, устраняющий, верно?
