What are the four kinds of sudation described in chapter 12, and which suit vata joined with kapha?

Detailed answer

Verse 6 lists the four kinds. Vata joined with kapha is sweated with heat, binding and steam, while vata joined with blood and pitta is given liquid sudation with milk, water, ghee and kanji. The commentary describes each: heated sand bundles or bricks, a thick poultice bound with leaves, steam from heated iron, a decoction pot with a tube or an ember pit, and immersion in or affusion with warm decoction.
