श्लेष्मणाऽनुगता तस्मात् सङ्क्षयस्तद्विपर्यात्। वायुनाऽनुगतोऽस्माच्च वृद्धिक्षयसमुद्भवान्॥२८॥

Cause for increase or decrease of Dosha- The increase of Doshas, Dhatus and Mala is usually due to excess nutrition (Tarpana), which is followed later on with increase of Kapha. Whereas the decrease of Doshas, Dhatus and Malas is due to loss of nutrition which is followed, later with increase of Vayu (Vata). Hence, the diseases arising from increase of Dosha and Dhatu should be usually treated quick by adopting Langhana (therapy causing thinning of the body, reducing the quantity)
