वातश्लेष्मात्मके शुष्के स्निग्धमार्द्रे विरूक्षणम् । कासे कर्म सपित्ते तु कफजे तिक्तसंयुतम् ॥ ७२ ॥

When a cough originates from Vata and Kapha and is dry, the treatment should be predominantly unctuous (oleation/snigdha). When the cough is moist (productive with sputum), a drying (rukshana) treatment should be given. In a Kaphaja cough that is associated with Pitta, therapeutic measures should be applied using herbs that possess a bitter (tikta) taste.
