When the channel of circulation of ''kapha'' gets vitiated by poison, then this causes obstruction in the channel because of which the movement of ''vayu'' gets obstructed. As a result of this, the patient breaths as if he is going to die very soon. If he is free from signs and symptoms of incurability, then incisions should be made on his scalp resembling the paw of the crow (''kakapada''), and one bilva (nearly 40 grams) of the paste of carmakasha (saptala – Acacia concinna) should be applied over it. He may also be given ''pradhamana'' (a type of inhalation therapy in which the recipe in powder form is blown into the nostrils) with ''katabhi'' (Albizzia procera), ''katu'' (''shunti'' – Zingiber officinale, ''pippali'' – Piper longum and ''maricha'' – Piper nigrum) and ''katphala'' (Luffa cylindrica).

Over the ''kakapada'' (incisions in the scalp), the meat of goat, cow, buffalo or cock should be applied which will absorb the poison from the body.[65-67]
