Plihodara with dominance of pitta is treated by oral administration of ghee medicated with jivaniya herbs [Jeevaka (Malaxis acuminta), rishbhaka (Microstylis muscifera), medā (Polygonatum verticillatum), mahāmeda (Polygonatum cirrhifolium), kākoli (Roscoea procera), kshirakākoli (Lilium polphyllum), riddhi (Habenaria edgeworthii), vriddhi (Habenaria intermedia), kshāra basti (decoction enema consisting of alkali obtained from ash of herbs), raktāvaseka (blood letting), shodhana (purification measures) and oral intake of milk. Patient is asked to take yusha (cereal soup) or meat soup processed with dipaniya (herbs augmenting the digestive power) drugs and light food. Since the etiology and symptomatology of plihodara (splenomegaly) and yakritodara (hepatomegaly) are same, so all the treatment mentioned for plihodara should be adopted in yakritodara [87-88].
