In a location free from excessive wind, a pit of the width of a bed and twice as deep as wide should be dug. Its inner portion should be well cleaned and filled with dried dung of elephant, horse, cows, ass, or camel and then ignited. A bed or sheet covered with a thin sheet should be kept over it. The patient, well massaged with oil and covered with cloth, should either lie down or sit over the bed till proper fomentation. This technique is called as kupasweda. (59-60)

A heap of dung (of similar description as above) of the size of a bed is ignited. After it is completely burnt and becomes smokeless, a bed covered with a thin sheet is kept over it. The patient, well massaged with oil and covered with cloth, is made to lie down over the bed for comfortable fomentation. This is called holaka sweda and is considered healthy by sages.  

 

Thus ends the description of the thirteen types of fire-induced sudation. (61-63)

As described earlier, fomentation can be categorized into two types- using fire and not using fire. Again, there could be two types of fomentation based on whether the whole body is exposed or only parts of it. Another categorization is based on whether it is wet or dry fomentation. These three pairs of fomentation types are well known forms of sudation. (65-66)
