What the text says
Each statement reports the source, with its chapter, page and verse. Traditional descriptions are not presented as proven medical facts.
Signs and symptoms2
Emesis from a small dose of weak medicine does not remove all the doshas, leading to headache, worsening of the disease and then nausea; a strong patient should be made to vomit properly again.
A purgation that cannot remove all the doshas makes them rise, causing heaviness of the head, vata disorders, chest disorders and cutting pain at the anus; if the patient has a soft body, he is purged with sharp purifying drugs.
