sanskrit

[Observation of patient after giving dose] After administration of the decoction, the patient should be observed for one muhurt (approximately 48 minutes). The first noticeable effect will be perspiration indicating liquification of dosha. Thereafter, the patient would exhibit horripilation showing movement of dosha from its own position. The third stage will produce distension of the abdomen indicative of the doshas having shifted to the gut. Nausea and salivation occur in the fourth stage, indicating the upward movement of dosha. At this stage, the patient should be asked to sit on a comfortable chair of knee height, which is well-covered with bed sheet and have towel, pillow and cushion at its side. Good friends, whose presence is not embarrassing to the patient, should attend him and support his head, press his navel, and massage his back in order to facilitate emesis.
