2L. Emollient



Mollifiers, Demulcents

Emollients are medicines which soften hardness. They are diverse in nature because the cause of hardness itself is diverse, ie. caused by dryness; coldness; excess; with humors or wind.
They are generally warm, as hardness is generally cold and requires activation. They are used either internally or externally, especially for Fibroids and old Bruises etc.

Demulcents are medicines that relieve inflammation or irritation. However, they are usually put with Emollients as they are similar in effect, both being soothing, softening and resolving.
