Treatment principle2
If medicine remains in the stomach while the doshas are slight and the patient weak, it should be digested with digestive (pachana) measures.
If the patient with residual medicine has abundant, moving doshas, is strong, and has not been purged properly, he should be made to vomit with warm water.
