The ''dosha'' provoked by the above-mentioned factors, when it enters the flesh and blood of the internal organs of the body, gives rise to deep-rooted nodule-like swellings with severe pain. It is a severe condition that occurs in the heart, pharynx (''kloma''), liver, spleen, stomach, kidney, navel, groin and bladder [91-94]

The abscesses occurring in the heart, umbilicus and urinary bladder as well as of ''sannipātika'' type, if suppurated, have bad prognosis and may lead to death. Remaining types of abscess ,if treated immediately by an expert physician, are curable.

Therefore immediately on appearance of the internal abscess, it should be managed promptly with effective measures that can act quickly, else it may harm just like an injury caused by a weapon, bite by a snake and burning by lightening or fire. These abscesses may be managed by oleation and purgation therapies as well as all the measures of ''gulma'' [103]
