If in the state of vitiation of ''ama'', the patient has finally digested the previously eaten meal, but while ingesting the present meal, if the ''doshas'' still adhere inside the stomach and the feeling in the abdomen is cold/ inactive, heavy and aversion to food, then the patient should be advised medicines for digestion of the remaining ''doshas'' (''pachana'' drugs) and also for stimulation of digestive fire (''deepana'' drugs).The patient should not be given food during indigestion since the ''agni'' (digestive power) which is already weak by excessive vitiation of ''ama'' is incapable of simultaneously digesting the ''dosha'', the drug and the diet. In a patient who is already weak and has low digestive ability, the cumulative effect of excessively morbid ''ama'' (''ama pradosha''), food and drug will further deplete the strength of the patient and could even lead to death.

The amelioration of diseases caused by ''ama'' is done by ''apatarpana'' i.e. depletion therapy. If the disease further progresses even after depletion therapy, appropriate measures should be adopted to counter the morbid condition. Experts recommend the use of measures antagonistic to both the disease as well as its etiological factors, especially medications that could treat them both.

When the patient is relieved from excessive morbidity of ''ama'', the ''doshas'' are in completely digested form and once his digestive fire has been rekindled/restored, he should be administered, systematically and skillfully, measures such as oleation, corrective and unctuous enema (''asthapana'' and ''anuvasana'' types of ''basti''), and appropriate internal administration of unctuous substances following the specific procedure after careful assessment of  the status of ''doshas'', drugs, place, time, strength, body, diet, ''satmya'', psyche, constitution, age etc. and also the diseases .[13] </div>
