In abdominal enlargement caused by Kapha (kaphodara), the patient should first be given oleation therapy using ghee boiled with herbs of the Vatsakādi Gaṇa, followed by sudation (fomentation) therapy. Next, if the patient is strong, purgation therapy should be administered using ghee processed with the milky sap of snuhī (Euphorbia neriifolia).
