On analyzing the ''samprapti'' of the conditions (''visarpa, pidaka'' etc.) mentioned here, it is well evident that the common thread in them is ''kapha-pitta dushti''. ''Shopha'' is also a clinical condition where there is prohibition to use oleating substances like ''guda, aanoopa-amisha'' etc. (A.H.Su.16/43). Here ''abhighaata'' and ''visha'' which is always an acute emergency presenting ''kapha-pitta dushti'' also requires immediate ''shodhana'' without much ''swedana''. ''Pandu roga'' is a condition which is entitled for the use of ''sneha prayoga'' like ''kalyanakaghrita''. Here, Acharya cautions not to reach ''ati-snigdhatwam''. ''Visarpa'' is also a condition where in ''snehana'' is prohibited.
