Suppression of natural urges, day-sleep, insomnia, intoxication, talking too loudly, exposure to frost, exposure to wind from the front, excessive sex, inhalation of unwholesome (or toxic) smell, exposure to dust, smoke, cold and sun, over eating of heavy, sour and green food,  use of very cold water, trauma to the head, formation of products of improper digestion and metabolism in the body (i.e., ama), excessive weeping or suppression of tears, cloudy weather, irritation of mind/anxiety (manastapa), and anomalous climate/season are the general causative factors of shiroroga. The above factors provoke or vitiate vata,  affecting rakta (blood circulation) in the head leading to shiroroga with various symptoms [8-11]

Therefore immediately on appearance of the internal abscess, it should be managed promptly with effective measures that can act quickly, else it may harm just like an injury caused by a weapon, bite by a snake and burning by lightening or fire. These abscesses may be managed by oleation and purgation therapies as well as all the measures of ''gulma'' [103]

Decrease, normalcy and increase are the three states of ''doshas''. Other three courses of ''doshas'' are upward, downward and oblique/transverse movement. Yet another set of three states of ''dosha'' are by their movement to ''koshtha'' (thoraco-abdominal cavity), ''shakha'' (''tvak'' and ''dhatus'' except ''rasa'') and vital-organs, bones and joints. Thus are described various states of ''doshas'' [112-113]

Accumulation, provocation and pacification of ''pitta, vata'' and ''kapha'' respectively occur individually and sequentially in the six seasons beginning with the rainy season (e.g., ''pitta'' accumulation in rainy season, etc). These courses (of accumulation, provocation and/or pacification) of ''dosha'' are known as seasonal courses of ''doshas''.[114]

Another set of courses of ''dosha'' are physiological and pathological. Normally, heat generated by ''pitta'' digests the food but when the same ''pitta'' is in a provoked state, it causes various disorders. Similarly, normal ''kapha'' contributes to body-strength but when vitiated, it becomes waste material (''mala''). Normal ''kapha'' is also responsible for ''ojas'', however on provocation,  it could cause various ailments in the body.
