Rubbing the body with paste is called always good when there is skin discolouration, a kapha or fat disorder, itching, emaciation, affliction by vata, or raktapitta. Rubbing with a paste of wheat and the like, friction and dusting the body with medicinal powders are said to make the body firm and the skin lustrous, and to destroy disorders of fat and kapha, nodules (the commentary: joint disease), itching, and diseases of vata and of the blood.
