If  anuvāsana-basti is administered to the person who is empty stomach, it goes upwards due to the absence of any obstruction in the passage. In the acute fever, anaemia, jaundice and prameha, anuvāsana-basti causes excitement of dosha which further leads to udara-roga (obstinate abdominal disease including ascites). In the person suffering from piles, use of anuvāsana-basti may create obstruction in the piles leading to adhmāna (abdominal distension). In the person suffering from anorexia, application of anuvāsana-basti further diminishes the desire for food. In case of suppression of power of digestion and weakness, the application of anuvāsana-basti makes the digestive power poorer. If anuvāsana-basti is administered to the persons suffering from coryza, splenic disorders and such other diseases, it causes the further excitement of dosha which are already aggravated. Therefore, the above mentioned persons are unfit for the administration of anuvāsana-basti. [18]

Shirovirechana applied in the case of indigestion and full stomach causes the occlusion of the channels moving upwards by vitiated dosha which further leads to manifestation of cough, dyspnoea, vomiting and coryza. In those who have taken fatty substances or desirous of taking wine or water or take after head-evacuation, shirovirechna gives rise  to discharge from mouth and nose, dirt and stickiness in eyes, cataract and head diseases. If the person who has taken head- bath or takes head-bath after the therapy, then it causes the coryza. Application of shirovirechna in a person afflicted with hunger causes aggravation of vāta dossha. If it is administered to the person afflicted with thirst then it further increases the thirst and causes the dryness of mouth. Shirovirechna applied in the cases of fatigue, intoxication and fainting produces the same adverse effects as mentioned under the asthāpana-basti. If this therapy is administered in the persons injured with weapons or stick, it increases the pain. In those exhausted by sexual intercourse, physical exercise and intake of alcohol, it causes pain in head, shoulder, eyes and chest. Shirovirechna applied to those suffering from acute fever and grief causes the heat to spread into the channels of eye, produces the cataract and increases the fever. If this therapy is given to the person who has undergone purgation therapy, then it aggravates vāta dossha which may further leads to the damage of the sense organs. Shirovirechna given to the person who has undergone anuvāsana-basti, causes aggravation of kapha dossha which produces heaviness of head, itching and parasitic infestation. In the case of pregnant woman, this therapy inhibits the growth of the foetus and she gives birth to an offspring who may be blind by one eye, with deformity of upper limbs, hemiplegic and with deformity of lower limbs. Shirovirechna given to the person suffering from acute coryza causes the morbidity of the channels of circulation. If this therapy is given in unsuitable season and on a cloudy day then it causes the diseases due to cold, putrefied rhinitis and head-diseases. Therefore, these persons are not fit for head-evacuation therapy.  [21]

Shirovirechana applied in the case of indigestion and full stomach causes the occlusion of the channels moving upwards by vitiated dosha which further leads to manifestation of cough, dyspnoea, vomiting and coryza. In those who have taken fatty substances or desirous of taking wine or water or take after head-evacuation, shirovirechna gives rise  to discharge from mouth and nose, dirt and stickiness in eyes, cataract and head diseases. If the person who has taken head- bath or takes head-bath after the therapy, then it causes the coryza. Application of shirovirechna in a person afflicted with hunger causes aggravation of vāta dossha. If it is administered to the person afflicted with thirst then it further increases the thirst and causes the dryness of mouth. Shirovirechna applied in the cases of fatigue, intoxication and fainting produces the same adverse effects as mentioned under the asthāpana-basti. If this therapy is administered in the persons injured with weapons or stick, it increases the pain. In those exhausted by sexual intercourse, physical exercise and intake of alcohol, it causes pain in head, shoulder, eyes and chest. Shirovirechna applied to those suffering from acute fever and grief causes the heat to spread into the channels of eye, produces the cataract and increases the fever. If this therapy is given to the person who has undergone purgation therapy, then it aggravates vāta dossha which may further leads to the damage of the sense organs. Shirovirechna given to the person who has undergone anuvāsana-basti, causes aggravation of kapha dossha which produces heaviness of head, itching and parasitic infestation. In the case of pregnant woman, this therapy inhibits the growth of the foetus and she gives birth to an offspring who may be blind by one eye, with deformity of upper limbs, hemiplegic and with deformity of lower limbs. Shirovirechna given to the person suffering from acute coryza causes the morbidity of the channels of circulation. If this therapy is given in unsuitable season and on a cloudy day then it causes the diseases due to cold, putrefied rhinitis and head-diseases. Therefore, these persons are not fit for head-evacuation therapy.  [21]

In these conditions, head-evacuation is the foremost therapy as it entering into the head eliminates the entire pathogenic impurities like fibrous coating of muñja (a type of grass) from the pith (iṣikā). [22]

In the case of emergency, shirovirechna (head-evacuation therapy) should be given in the season other than prāvṛṭ (early rain), sharad (autumn) and vasanta (spring) by arranging environment artificially. In summer, it should be applied in the morning, in winter during noon time and in rainy season when sky is free from clouds. [23]

==== Chapter authority ====

 

It is the pattern of this classic that in the beginning of every chapter, acārya propose the topic which is to be discussed and secondly the common sentence for all the chapter i.e. ‘इति ह स्माह भगवानात्रेयः’ is used which shows the authenticity of the text. There are number of discourses in medical science and it is not possible for all to discuss them completely and meticulously that’s why Agniveśa declares very honestly in the beginning of all the chapters that whatever has been discussed is as per the preaching of his teacher Lord Punarvasu Ātreya. The title ‘Bhagavān’ (lord) itself reveals that Punarvasu Ātreya was an extraordinary personality who could completely discuss the medical science without any mistake and lacunae. [1]                                                                [1-2]
