− | Medicines should be advised, taking into consideration the ''dushyas, doshas,'' and different types of factors related to the status of the body like age, strength etc. The ''doshas'' which are situated in the deeper tissues are also of different types and these ''doshas'' move through the different types of channels which are connected to each other. To manage any disease which is deeply seated into the tissue, many procedures much seems to be opposite as per the classical text are to be advocated. For example ''pitta'' which is ''ushna'' (hot) in nature is treated by ''sheeta'' (cold) procedures, but in deep seated vitiated ''pitta'' which is ''ushna'' in nature ,is to be treated by giving hot fomentation or poultice. If cold procedures are implemented in this condition it will worsen the condition. Similarly if deep seated ''kapha dosha'' is to be treated with''sheeta'' procedures . ''Lepas'' made out of ''sheeta dravyas'' like ''chandana'' are applied. Though ''chandana'' is ''sheeta dravya, lepa'' made out of superfine powder of ''chandana'' applied on the lesion will block the heat coming out from the skin. This accumulated heat creates burning at the site. In opposite, if ''lepa'' of ''agaru'' which is hot in nature and is applied, it will impart coldness in that part. It is known that stool of fly has vomiting inhibiting activity but fly if consumed induces vomiting. Food substances if boiled or baked changes their properties. Thus it’s important for a ''vaidya'', that he should not depend only on the properties of the ''yoga'' (formulation) but must consider all the ten factors discussed earlier along with different type of factors, their classification and some exceptional rules while treating disorders.
