कुष्ठिनं स्नेहपानेन पूर्वं सर्वमुपाचरेत् । तत्र वातोत्तरे तैलं घृतं वा साधितं हितम् ॥ १ ॥
A patient suffering from skin diseases (kuṣṭha) should first and foremost be managed with internal oleation therapy through the drinking of medicated fats (sneha-pāna). Among these, if Vāta is the predominant dosha, either a medicated oil (taila) or medicated ghee (ghṛta) is highly beneficial.
