Due to the causative factors doshas become vitiated and spread to the entire body. Aggravated doshas enter the digestive system and combine with agni, accompanying the rasa, blocking the channels. Agni expels out from the site of digestion and spreads all over the body and gives rise to jwara. The aggravated doshas reside in the intestine (site of agni) and produce abdominal pain followed by diarrhoea

Again, he will have to breathe in deeply through the other nostril while the opposite nostril is still closed with the thumb.
