Rohini of the combined, kapha and blood types (in the commentary), adhijihvika once suppurated, valaya, mahalasa, vrinda and shataghni are to be given up; galavidradhi and mamsatana are also described as deadly.

Curable rohini is treated with bloodletting, mouthfuls, smoking, emesis, licks, head purgation and rubbing, while kanthashaluka, ekavrinda and gilayu are incised; throat diseases in general are treated with emesis, nasal drops, plasters and gargles (verse 94).
