श्लेष्मजे वामयेत् पूर्वमवम्यमुपवासयेत् । तिक्तोष्णकटुसंसर्ग्या वह्निं सन्धुक्षयेत् ततः ॥ ७६ ॥

In śleṣmaja gulma (abdominal tumor arising from kapha), the patient should be made to vomit (by administering vamana therapy) right at the beginning. Those who are unfit for emesis should be made to fast (upavāsa). Thereafter, the digestive fire should be stimulated and increased by using foods and drinks combined with bitter (tikta), hot (uṣṇa), and pungent (kaṭu) properties.
