Predominance of ''kapha'' is judged by the symptoms like heaviness, lack of taste in the mouth and hardness of the abdomen. Presence of symptoms indicative of morbidity of ''rakta'' as mentioned in [[Vidhishonitiya]] point towards the dominance of morbid ''rakta'' in the pathogenesis of ''plihodara''. Hence, ''plihodara'' should be treated according to the dominance of ''dosha'' involved [75-76].
