Those who are suffering from excessive vitiation of kapha, pitta, blood and waste products, are afflicted with obstructed vata and who have bulky and strong bodies should be treated using shodhana (purificatory) procedures of Langhana.
Those who are suffering from excessive vitiation of ''kapha, pitta,'' blood and waste products, are afflicted with obstructed ''vata'' and who have bulky and strong bodies should be treated using ''shodhana'' (purificatory) procedures of ''Langhana''.
Those who are suffering from diseases caused by moderate increase of kapha and pitta such as vomiting, diarrhea, heart disease, acute intestinal irritation (cholera), intestinal sluggishness (alasaka), fever, constipation, heaviness of body, eructation, nausea, anorexia and similar conditions should first be treated with applications of digestive measures by wise physician.
Those who are suffering from diseases caused by moderate increase of ''kapha'' and ''pitta'' such as vomiting, diarrhea, heart disease, acute intestinal irritation (cholera), intestinal sluggishness (''alasaka''), fever, constipation, heaviness of body, eructation, nausea, anorexia and similar conditions should first be treated with applications of digestive measures by wise physician.
In a strong person with diseases of moderate intensity, any treatment measure should include physical exercise and exposure to sunlight and the wind. Further, strong patients suffering from mild disease or a little imbalance of doshas should be treated in the same manner i.e. exercise and exposure to the sun and the wind.
Those who are suffering from skin disorders, urinary disorders, those consuming excess of unctuous food, with excess discharges in the body and undergone excess nourishing therapy should be treated with Langhana therapy. In a season of shishira (winter), Langhana is suitable for patients with vata-dominant disorders also (in addition to above). [19-24]
