[Procedure of therapeutic emesis] Dose of emetics: The dosage of the decoction of the fruit of madanaphala (Randia dumetorum Lam.) and also of all the other drugs used in purification therapy should be decided according to the needs of an individual. A dose that produces the desired effects of purification of the vitiated dosha and does not cause excess or inadequate purification is regarded as the ideal dose for the patient.
