This therapeutic enema formulation is highly praised (pūjitaḥ) and indicated for overcoming stubborn Kapha disorders (kapha-vyādhi), anemia (pāṇḍu-roga), and gastroenteritis/cholera-like conditions (viṣūcikā). It is equally effective for relieving the obstruction of semen (śukra-vibandha), flatulence/suppression of flatus (anila-vibandha), and pain or distension in the urinary bladder region (basty-āṭope).

and the individual herbs of the kanīyas-pañcamūla (Laghu Pañcamūla). Boil these along with eight fruits of madana (madanāṣṭakam / Randia dumetorum) in one āḍhaka (approx. 3.07 liters) of water until the decoction is reduced to one-fourth (pāda-śeṣam) of its volume, and then filter it.

Combine this filtered decoction with two prastha (approx. 1.53 liters) of cow's milk and a one-fourth part (of the total volume) of wild animal meat soup (jāṅgala-rasa). Boil this combined mixture again until all the water content evaporates and only the medicated milk remains (kṣīra-śeṣam). Then, thoroughly blend it with ghee, honey, and rock salt (saindhava).

Infuse this liquid with a fine medicinal paste (piṣṭaiḥ) composed of yaṣṭīmadhu (Glycyrrhiza glabra), miśi (Śatāhvā / Anethum sowa), śyāmā (Trivṛt / alternative: Priyangū), kaliṅgaka (Indrayava / seeds of Holarrhena antidysenterica), and rasāñjana (extract of Berberis aristata). Administered comfortably warm (sukhoṣṇaḥ), this enema substantially increases musculature (māṃsa), kindles the digestive fire (agni), builds vital energy (bala), and increases semen production (śukra-vivardhanaḥ).
