Dosapaka avastha is noted by such symptoms as a normalisation of body temerature,lightness of the body, renewed sensory perception,increased strength and an improvement in mental and emotional clarity. Such symptoms indicate a good prognosis, and it is usually at this stage that therapies such as panca karma are most favourable (see Ch. 11). Although they can bear some resemblance to one another, dosapaka avastha must be clearly separated from avegavastha, and vice versa.
