[General principles of management] The disease is acute in nature and becomes critical very quickly, by spreading like bush fire. Hence its treatment should be done immediately with saturating or de-saturating soft, sweet, cold, bitter and astringent diet and pastes, baths, emesis etc. after due consideration of dose, place and time.
भवन्ति चात्र- साध्यं लोहितपित्तं तद्यदूर्ध्वं प्रतिपद्यते| विरेचनस्य योगित्वाद्बहुत्वाद्भेषजस्य च ||१२||
[Virechana (therapeutic purgation) in raktapitta] The upward variety of raktapitta is curable because of applicability of purgation and abundance of useful drugs.
रक्तं तु यदधोभागं तद्याप्यमिति निश्चितम्| वमनस्याल्पयोगित्वादल्पत्वाद्भेषजस्य च ||१५||
[Vamana (therapeutic emesis) in raktapitta] Hemorrhage from the lower parts is decidedly palliable because emesis has limited efficacy here and effective drugs are also a few.
