तस्मात्पित्तविरुद्धानि त्यजेत्पित्ताधिकेऽधिकम् । स्नानाभ्यङ्गप्रदेहांश्च परिशेषं च लङ्घनम् ॥ १७ ॥
hence in fevers all things (food and activities), which cause increase of Pitta should be avoided, especially so (with greater intent) in fever, where Pitta is greatly increased. Similarly bath; oil massage, anointing the body (with fragrant pastes), and other methods of Langhana (making the body thin and light) should also be avoided.
