If the symptoms and complications in ''vatashonita'' are not localised to a specific part rather are of fleeting nature, the blood should be let out with ''siravyadha'' (venesection) or by ''pracchana''. In case if there are ''angaglani'' (''anga shosha'' i.e.atrophy), dryness, and other symptoms of [[vata]] dominance, the bloodletting should not be done. [38]

Blood loss due to blood letting may cause aggravation of ''vata dosha'', leading to deep swelling, stiffness, tremors, disorders of ''sira'' and ''snayu'' (blood vessels and ligaments), debility and constriction of the part. If there is excessive blood loss, the complications like limping and other vāta disorders and even death will occur. Hence one should let the blood out in proper quantity, after proper oleation.
