==== ''Shirovirechana'' (verse 50-53) ====

''Shirovirechana'' comes in sequence of ''shodhana'' after ''vamana-virechana'' etc. It has direct cleansing effect on the part above the clavicle hence termed ''shirovirechana''. As head is a vital part and eyes are to be avoided during any fomentation, only fomentation with the help of the palm is an ideal procedure before ''shirovirechana''. Inappropriate administration may cause only irritation and not the removal of morbid matter that leads to increase in secretions as result of allergic reaction causing adhesion of sticky material in the throat, heaviness of the head etc. Excessive administration of ''shirovirechana'' may cause rupture of certain capillaries in the Little's area, lying in antero-inferior part of the nasal septum having rich vascularisation. This may results in cutting type of pain. Due to sudden entry of foreign bodies in the nasal cavity fainting occurs rarely which may be due to vagal shock.
