These do not help an individual suffering from hard bowel movement because of the prominence of ''vata'' in their ''grahani'' (duodenum). “Soft bowel individuals” have predominance of ''pitta'' and less ''kapha'' and ''vata'' in their duodenum, and hence gets purgation easily. [65-69]

Individuals with highly aggravated pitta in duodenum have excessive digestive strength, and therefore are able to digest or metabolize fat easily. Since their ojas gets displaced and their digestive power produces thirst, even great quantities of solid food consumption does not quench the fire stimulated by fat drinking, and therefore they do not find relief even with cold water. They suffer from the burning sensation of agni in them as if they have ingested snake venom.

 

When the sneha consumed does not undergo digestion and there is thirst then the physician should get it out through emesis, make the patient drink copious amounts of cold water, eat dry food items, and then make him vomit again.

They suffer from the burning sensation of ''agni'' in them as if they have ingested snake venom.

Ghrita should not be drunk when only pitta is increased and especially when there is ama in the body. Consuming ghrita in such cases could change the physical complexion of the person to that of pitta, lead to loss of consciousness or even death.  

 

Stupor, nausea, flatulence, fever, rigidity of the body, skin diseases, itching, pallor, edema, hemorrhoids, tastelessness, diseases of stomach and duodenum, feeling of numbness, loss of speech, abdominal pain, and various diseases related with ama could be caused by improper administration of sneha. In these conditions, oleates should be ejected out of one’s system using emesis or sudation. The physician should then give mild purgation, after an interval of time, and also factoring in the severity of the disease and the condition and predisposition of the patient. Administering takrarishta, using dry food items, drinking cow urine and consuming triphala are some of the medicines recommended for cure of complications caused by the consumption of sneha. [70-78]
