Emetics should be administered with vehicles depending on ''dosha''. For example in ''pitta'' dominant conditions drugs are administered with milk, ''draksha, amalaka, parushaka'', etc., honey and ''gomutra'' are employed in ''kapha dosha'' and with ''sura'' (wine) and other fermented drinks, curd etc. in ''vata dosha''. Gangadhara described the use of ''jimutaka'' in kotha (urticaria) and he also commented that Hikkadi includes Kasa. Chakrapani specifically indicates  that diseases which are due to urogatadosha should be considered under hikkadi.

Chakrapani mentions the use of freshly appeared fruit in the preparation of milk gruel. Arunadatta comments there are two varieties of ''Jimutaka'' fruits viz ''Mridu'' and ''Kathina'' , based on their hairy and non hairy texture. (A.Hr..Ka.1/21 Arunadatta commentary). Fruits described as ''Haritapandu'' should be of moderate growth and of texture that lies between hairy and non hairy ones.

The recipe with ''Jimutaka'' as nasal drops in the management of ''Kamala'' is very popular and has scientific validation. Its Emetic activity has also been revalidated. Being ''tiskanavamaka'' it can be used in ''Nanatmaja Kapha Vikara''. Though it sometimes may create hematemesis.
