ग्रहोत्थे भूतविद्योक्तं बलिमन्त्रादि साधनम् । ओषधिगन्धजे पित्तशमनं विषजिद्विषे ॥ १६८ ॥

For fevers caused by Graha (evil spirits, bacteria etc.) measures such as Bali (offering oblations), Mantra (incantation of hymns) etc., described in Bhuta Vidya (sorcery) are the methods of treatment. For fever caused by the smell of plants, therapies which mitigate Pitta, and for fevers caused by poison, antipoisonous therapies should be adopted.
