Kapag ang paghahandang ito ay ininom matapos malutong nang wasto (pakva), mabilis nitong napagwawagi ang talamak na paghapdi at ang vāta-śoṇita (pagkabalisa ng dugo dahil sa Vāta, kahawig ng gout), at winawasak nito ang mga karamdaman ng kapha-vāta—kaya tinatawag ang pormulang «ja». Ang sangkap na «trikaṭu–triphalā–kuṣṭha» ay tinatawag na «ña». Ang paghahandang niluto kasama ang paṭola, triphalā, abhiru, kaṭukā, at amṛtā (guḍūcī) ay tinatawag na «kha/cha/ña». Ang guggulu ay maaaring ibigay na may mainit o malamig na inumin, gamit ang tubig na pinroseso sa guḍūcī at triphalā.

Alongside theology and ritual, the Agni Purana catalogs applied sciences; here it preserves clinical-style Ayurvedic recipes, ingredient lists, and administration guidance (anupāna), demonstrating the text’s wide coverage of health, pharmacology, and therapeutics.
While primarily medical, the Purāṇic framing treats health-preserving knowledge as dharmic support for sādhana: restoring balance of doṣas (vāta/kapha) and purifying afflicted blood helps sustain ritual duty, study, and disciplined living.
