''Hikka shwasa'' treatment based on ''doshas'': The medicines or food that aggravate ''vata'' and destroy ''kapha'' or aggravate ''kapha'' and alleviate ''vata'' must never be used in the treatment.  

Brimhana (nourishment therapy) administered in hikka and shwasa and its complications make them curable. The shamana treatment (palliative therapy) prevents the complications. Karshana (depletion therapy) makes hikka and shwasa incurable.  

However drugs that alleviate ''vata'' and aggravate ''kapha'' can be used in exceptional conditions.  

Hence shamana (palliative) and brimhana (nourishment) therapy should be done in hikka and shwasa with or without purification of the body. [147-150]
