Complications from faulty pressing of the enema and their treatment

Pressing too hard drives the fluid out through the mouth and nostrils; it is checked at once, sharp head and body purgatives are given, cold water is sprinkled and the fluid is carefully brought down. Too gentle or repeated pressing lets wind in, causing distension and severe pain, which calls for an excellent vata-destroying enema; slow, interrupted pressing makes diseases arise or grow and is treated with the proper drugs and means.
