In Ayurveda texts directly clinical utility of the knowledge of Kleda have not been established yet. So,
we need to understand it with differential conditions explained for the pathophysiology of the diseases
in association with Kleda. Hence Kleda association with Rasavaha, Raktavaha, Udakavaha,
Lasikavaha Srotas in the form of waste of Kapha Dosha. As well some incidence association with
especially Mootra and Sweda in Trimala. The biggest power source for all Kapha is Kledak Kapha
which is located in Aamashaya in association with Pachak Pitta and saman vayu. Kledan, Vilodan,
Vidravibhavan are the function of Kledak Kapha with Dhatvagni metabolism as a by-product as
Kledanaat to remove waste material is a Karma of Kleda which changes situationally. Kledak Kapha
is responsible for the formation of first Ahariya Rasa with the help of Kledan Karma. It reflects in the
functionality and Guna and Karma of Kleda. The end results of Vikrut Kleda ends in Aam-nirmiti
with formation of Ajeerna. Also its responsible for arising a disease like Kushtha, Pidika, Prameha
etc.
