Answer
Study question (generated from the text)
Heat (tapa), steam (ushma), poultice (bandhana or upanaha) and liquid (drava) sweating; tapa and ushma chiefly pacify kapha, the poultice destroys vata, and liquid sweating suits vata or kapha mixed with raktapitta.
Detailed answer
Verses 23 to 25 define each kind. The commentary adds that sweating helps only an oleated body, so it follows oil massage; on a dry body it burns.
