Charak Samhita
स ह्यस्य तैक्ष्ण्याद्विच्छिद्य श्लेष्माणमुरसि स्थितम् । निष्कृष्य शमयेत् कासं वातश्लेष्मसमुद्भवम् ॥६८॥
Because of the sharpness of the ingredients used in this recipe, the phlegm located in the chest gets detached and forcibly thrown out as a result of which kasa caused by vayu and kapha gets alleviated.
