Now the treatment of the curable varieties of ''visarpa'' will be described.

If the ''visarpa'' is caused with ''ama dosha'' (''dosha'' in the state of incomplete transformation) and is located in ~~''kaphasthana''~~ (in thorax and upper body parts), then ''langhana'' (fasting therapy), ''vamana'' (emesis) therapy, ''tikta'' (bitter) drugs internally and application of paste of drugs with dry and cold properties externally is beneficial.

If the ''visarpa'' is caused with ama [[dosha]]([[dosha]] in the state of incomplete transformation) and is located in [[kapha]]sthana (in thorax and upper body parts), then [[langhana]] (fasting therapy), [[vamana]] (emesis) therapy, ''tikta'' (bitter) drugs internally and application of paste of drugs with dry and cold properties externally is beneficial.

The same treatment should be adopted in case of association of ''ama'' and location in ''pitta sthana'' (abdomen and middle parts of body).

The same treatment should be adopted in case of association of ''ama'' and location in [[pitta]] sthana (abdomen and middle parts of body).

In addition, ~~''raktamokshana''~~ (blood letting) and ''virechana'' (purgation therapy) are specially indicated.

In addition, [[rakta]]mokshana (blood letting) and [[virechana]] (purgation therapy) are specially indicated.

If ''sama'' (with ''ama dosha'') ''visarpa'' is arouse from ''vatashaya'' (pelvis and lower part of body) ununctuous measures are indicated in the beginning. Even in association with ''rakta-pitta'' uncting measure is not regarded as beneficial in the beginning.

In ~~''vataja~~ visarpa'' and ''paittika visarpa'' of mild aggravated ''dosha tiktaka ghritam'' is beneficial. But if the ''pitta dosha'' is excessively aggravated then ''virechana'' should be given.

In [[vata]]ja visarpa and paittika visarpa of mild aggravated [[dosha]] tiktaka ghritam is beneficial. But if the [[pitta]] [[dosha]] is excessively aggravated then [[virechana]] should be given.

In the condition of excessively aggravated ''dosha,'' ghee should not be given at first which does not cause ''virechana''. Because non purgating ghee occlude the ''dosha'' resulting in decomposed skin, flesh and blood. Hence in ''visarpa virechana'' followed by ~~''raktamokshana''~~ is recommended because the disorder is located in blood.[43-49]
