Powder of ''kampillaka'', barks of ''saptachchada, bibhitaka, rohitaka'' and ''kutaja'' and flower of ''kapittha'' should be added with honey, made to a linctus and taken by patients suffering from ''kaphaja'' and ''pittaja prameha''. One ''aksha'' of the paste of above mentioned drugs should be mixed with the juice of ''amalaki'' and given at the appropriate time to patients suffering from ''kaphaja'' and ''pittaja'' types of ''prameha''.

If the ''vayu'' is primarily aggravated in ''prameha'' because of excessive depletion of tissue elements, then it is incurable and the physician need not make efforts to treat. [52]
