The etiological factors, site, origin of both ''hikka'' and ''shwasa'' are same and hence the treatment is also same. Kindly listen attentively the treatment of ''hikka'' and ''shwasa'' as known by the seers.  

Initially the patient suffering from ''hikka'' and ''shwasa'' should be treated with massage with combination of rock salt and sesame oil over the chest region followed by administration of unctuous sudation by means of ''nadi sveda'' or ''prastara sveda'' or ''sankara sveda''. By this the clogged ''kapha'' gets liquefied in the channels and the channels become soft and ''vata'' moves in the downward direction (''vatanulomana''). As the ice on the top of the mountain gets liquefied by the rays of the sun, the ''kapha'' accumulated in the ''srotasa'' get liquefied by ''swedana''.

By this the clogged [[kapha]] gets liquefied in the channels and the channels become soft and [[vata]] moves in the downward direction ([[vata]]nulomana). As the ice on the top of the mountain gets liquefied by the rays of the sun, the [[kapha]] accumulated in the srotas get liquefied by [[swedana]].

After the administration ''snehana'' (oleation) and ''swedana'' (sudation), one has to give rice along with unctuous substances. The meat soup prepared from fish or pig or curds in large quantity should be taken in meals. When the ''kapha'' gets aggravated due to above mentioned means ''vamana'' (emesis therapy) should be administrated with powder of ''pippali'' (piper longum Linn), ''saindhava'' (rock salt) and honey. While selection of the drugs care should be taken not to administer the ''vata'' aggravating drugs. After the expulsion of vitiated ''kapha'' the patient feels relieved as the ''vata'' gets alleviated and moves in the normal direction as obstructed ''srotas'' are cleared. [70-76]
