it slowly discharges a slimy fluid. The patient of Kaphaja Shotha strongly desires warmth and hot touch. Similarly, the Shopha caused by two doshas (dual combinations) will have their own mixed set of causes and symptoms. The swelling caused by the combination of all three doshas (Sannipataja or Nichaya) will manifest all respective symptoms simultaneously due to the combination of their causes and signs.
