For example, elevated temperature in ''jwara'' can cause ''raktapitta'' and ''raktapitta'' can cause ''jwara''. Both the diseases (i.e ''jwara'' and ''raktapitta'') may lead to ''shosha'' (depletion of ''dhatus''). [17]

''Pratishyaya'' (rhinitis) leads to ''kasa'' (cough) which further leads to ''kshaya'' (depletion of ''dhatu''), consequently resulting in ''sosha'' (emaciation). [19]

It is seen that a single causative factor, ruksha (dry) can cause many diseases such as ''jwara'' (fever), ''bhrama'' (vertigo) and ''pralapa'' (delirium) etc., while the same single factor (''ruksha'') may cause just one disease (''jwara'') [25]

''Jwara'' alone may be caused by a combination of several causative factors including but not limited to ''ruksha''(dry) etc. and many causes like, ''ruksha'' (dry, rough) etc. may lead to several diseases. [26]

One symptom i.e. ''jwara'' can be considered common to many diseases that have irregular onset, while ''santapa'' (elevated temperature) is considered a symptom of only one disease i.e. ''jwara''.[28]

Irregular onset (and similar other symptoms) appear in the case of ''jwara'', while similar symptoms also occur in ''shwasa'' (dyspnea), ''hikka'' (hiccups), and other similar diseases. [29]

The diseases originating from ''amashaya'' are cured by ''langhana'' (fasting), only whereas only a single disease entity ''jwara'' also can be treated by the single therapy of ''langhana'' (fasting). [31]

For treating a single disease like ''jwara'', multiple therapies like light diet, etc. are needed and the same multiple therapies like light diet etc. are needed to subside many diseases like ''jwara''(fever), ''shwasa''(dyspnea), ''hikka''(hiccups) etc. [32]

Generally, ''doshas'' that are spread over obliquely (in the transverse direction) afflict the patient for a longer time. In that condition, treatment should not be initiated in a hurry without proper assessment of body strength and digestive power.
Generally, ''[[dosha]]s'' that are spread over obliquely (in the transverse direction) afflict the patient for a longer time. In that condition, treatment should not be initiated in a hurry without proper assessment of body strength and digestive power.
These ''doshas'' should be alleviated first by treatment, or they should be carefully be drawn to the ''koshtha'' (bowel). After knowing their status in ''koshtha'', the wise physician should eliminate them through the nearest route. [38-39]
