Green stalks of ''shalmali'' should be covered with green ''kusha'' and tied. This bundle is then smeared with the mud of black soil and placed over cow-dung fire. After the mud is dried up, the stalks of ''shalmali'' is removed. These stalks are then triturated in a pestle and mortar. One ''mushti'' (''pala'' or handful) of this paste should be mixed with one ''prastha'' of boiled milk and filtered. In this milk, oil, ghee and paste of ''madhuka'' is added in adequate quantity. This recipe is used for medicated enema to be given to the patient after massaging the body with oil. When the nasty material comes out, the patient should take bath and thereafter take food along with either milk or the meat soup of the wild animals. This ''piccha-basti'' (mucilaginous enema) cures ''paittika'' type of diarrhea, fever, edema, ''gulma'' (abdominal lumps), chronic diarrhea, ''grahani'' (digestive disorders) and the acute complications of purgation as well as of ''asthapana basti'' [63-68]

If a pittaja atisara patient does not follow the therapeutic measures and resorts to such foods and drinks which cause aggravation of pitta, then the excessively provoked pitta causes raktatisara and instantaneous vitiation of rakta (blood). This leads to serious complications like morbid thirst, colic pain, burning sensation and suppuration of the anus. It can also manifest itself directly on account of excessive aggravation of pitta and vitiation of blood [69-70]
