Saamaanya Chikitsaa
Trishn`aa is a disease in which Vaata and Pitta Dosha are dominant. Hence the basic principle for treatment is pacification of Vaata and Pitta and establishing the balance of fluids in the internal environment.

Treatment guidelines:

Treatment which pacifies Vaata and Pitta Dosha (Vaata Pittaghna)
Evacuation of aggravated Dosha in strong patients.(S`hodhana)
Pacification of aggravated Dosha in weak patients. (S`hamana)
Cold medication is advised for internal and external use.(S`heeta Chikitsaa)
Water is the best remedy for thirst. Collected clean rainwater, water prepared by dipping a piece of baked clay, heated red hot and immersed in water repeatedly is the remedy of choice to quench thirst.
