The word ''adau'' (आदौ) is used for disorders caused by a moderate intensity of [[kapha]] and [[pitta]], such as chhardi (vomiting). In these conditions, after reducing [[dosha]] by digestive medicines ([[pachana]]), pacification of [[dosha]] (samshamana) shall be done. But sometimes the [[pachana]] method may not be enough to treat the disease, requiring other methods of [[langhana]] to be explored. In strong people where the diseases manifest with the mild or little intensity of [[dosha]], any treatment course includes vyayama (exercise) and maruta atapa sevana(exposure to wind and the sun).

The increase of [[dhatus]] takes place naturally in the winter season (shishira ritu) due to visarga kala (winter solstice). This increase in [[dhatus]] occurs in conjunction with [[kapha]]. At this juncture, the rational application of [[langhana]] does not produce any adverse effect in people afflicted with [[vata]] diseases or possessing [[vata]] [[Prakriti]].14/10-11]

The three categories of [[langhana]] according to the intensity of disease and [[dosha]] aggravation are described in detail in the third chapter of [[Vimana Sthana]].
