शिरः श्रवणपाद्रेषु तं विशेषेण शीलयेत् । वर्ज्येऽभ्यङ्गः कफग्रस्तकृतसंशुद्धयजीर्णिभिः ॥ ९॥

sanskrit

It has been said in the eighth verse that abhyanga should be done on the entire body. Now the special places for abhyanga are being described. For example, abhyanga should be done especially on the head, ears and soles of the feet. Patients suffering from phlegmatic disorders like cold etc., those who have done emetic purgation etc. for body purification and those who are suffering from indigestion, should not use abhyanga.
