Usually, these medicines are levigated on a specific levigating stone and applied on the gums of unconscious patients. For levigation, a small drop of honey and in specific conditions, 2-3 drops of ginger juice are used. The medicine is in minute quantity, so chances of entering into the respiratory tract are minimum.The medicine starts showing its actions within a few seconds. Many of such patients are in the intensive care unit (I.C.U.), on monitors. In such patients, the changes in heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, etc. are observed instantaneously. Eg. The hemagarbha pottali was observed to instantaneously increase heart rate and improve the rate of respiration after application on gums in intensive care patients. Further research is needed to study the exact mode of action of these medicines.

[[Ayurveda]] has described the criteria for prognosis of patients. Charaka Samhita presents a separate section on the prognosis of the patients and specific signs and symptoms observed in the critical patients (arishta), indicating certain death in the near future. In such patients, a complete cure is not possible. But even in these patients, it is observed that the life span can be extended for some time with Ayurvedic emergency medicines. If such signs and symptoms(Arishta), are not observed, the patient can survive for a longer period.
