Ayurveda is a clinical science, therefore the classifications are also planned so that the disease can systematically be diagnosed on the basis of the symptoms. ''Shotha'' is a good example for it.

''Shotha'' has been defined as any abnormal elevation from the skin. First question to be asked to the patient whether there is any history of trauma, biting etc and if yes, then it is an ''agantuja shotha''. If there is a history of contact or taking poisonous substance then it is ''vishaja''.

Ayurveda gives very importance to ''ama''. Therefore, if ''ama'' is associated with swelling then first it should be managed by prescribing lightening therapy (''langhana'') and digestive drugs. After getting the ''nirama'' symptoms, ''shodhana'' therapy can be done according to dominant ''dosha''. It is the general rule for all types of swellings.

''Shiro-virechana'' is the choice of therapy for ''dosha'' situated in head. Therefore if the swelling involves the head then first ''nasya'' should be done.
