With the due consideration of morbid ''dosha'', the physician should prescribe ''pippalyadi lavana'' for liquefying the ''kapha''. The ingredients of ''pippalyadi lavana'' are ''pippali'' (Piper longum), ''tilvaka'' (Symplocos cochinchinensis/Jatropha curcas), ''hingu'' (Ferula foetida), ''nagaraa'' (Zingiber officinale), ''hastipippali'' (Scindapsus officinalis), ''bhallataka'' (Semecarpus anacardium), fruits of ''shigru'' (Moringa oleifera), ''haritaki'' (Terminalia chebula), ''vibhitaki'' (Terminalia belerica), ''amalaki'' (Emblica officinalis), ''katukarohini'' (Picrorhiza kurroa Royle), ''devadaru'' (Cedrus deodara), ''haridra'' (Curcuma longa), ''daruharidra'' (Berberis aristata), ''sarala'' (Pinus roxburghii), ''ativisha'' (Aconitum heterophyllum), ''vacha'' (Acorus calamus), ''kushtha'' (Saussurea lappa), ''musta'' (Cyperus rotundus), ''sauvarchala lavana'' (unaqua sodium chloride), ''vida lavana'' (ammonium salt), ''audbida lavana'' (salt obtained from earth), rock salt (''saindhava'') and ''samudra lavana'' (Sodi muris). The course powder of these drugs is added with curd/yogurt, cow’s ghee, ''vasa'' (animal fat), ''majja'' (bone marrow) and ''taila'' (oil extracted from seeds of Sesamum indicum) and then is burnt to get the ''kshara'' (alkali obtained from ash of herbs). This ''kshara'' is orally administered after the meals in a dose of one ''karsha'' (12g). The ''anupana'' (adjunct) for it is any one of madirā (alcoholic beverage), dadhimanda (liquid portion of curds), warm water, arishta (fermented decoctions), surā (alcoholic preparation made by fermenting a mixture of water, flour of rice, jaggery) and ''asava'' (fermented infusions). This medication effectively cures ''hridroga'' (cardiac disease), ''anasaraka, gulma'' (abdominal lump), ''plihodara'' (splenomegaly), ''arshas'' (piles), ''udara roga, visuchika'' (illness characterized by vomiting and diarrhea), ''udavarta'' (reversed course of ''vata'' in the abdomen) and ''vatashtila'' (mass obliterating the urinary and rectal passage)[157-161].
