This property increases Vata and reduces the quantity of tissues. This dries the waste materials. Substances with this property are easy to digest and absorb.

Such materials are rich in Fire, Air and Ether primary element. Many times this is a favorable property of useful herbs for paralysis, atherosclerosis and other blockages and other conditions where the herb is needed to act fast.

Sometimes this is not a good property as in alcohol and other addictive psychoactive herbs like Opium and Indian hemp. This property easily puts us on a 'high' felt with narcotics or addictive substances like tobacco and drugs and then we are easily in their grip.
