Abnormal ''kapha'' should be managed using drugs having pungent, bitter, astringent, sharp, hot and dry qualities, and by means of other therapeutic modalities such as fomentation, emesis, evacuation of ''doshas'' from head, exercise etc. that have anti-''kaphaja'' properties and these must be administered in appropriate dose and time. Amongst all the above mentioned procedures emesis is regarded the most effective form of treatment for the management of ''kaphaja'' diseases because immediately after entering the stomach, it strikes at the very root cause of the vitiation of ''kapha''. Thus, when ''kapha'' is overcome in the stomach, any ''kapha''-related affliction in any other part of the body gets pacified automatically quite like the drying up of crops of rice in the absence of moisture when the obstructing ridge of the field is broken.[19]
