शिरोऽभितापेऽनिलजे वातव्याधिविधिं चरेत् । घृतमक्तशिरा रात्रौ पिबेदुष्णपयोऽनुपः ॥ १ ॥
In Śiro'bhitāpa (headache/head affliction) caused by Vāta (anilaje), the treatment advocated for Vātavyādhi (diseases caused by aggravated Vāta) should be adopted (vāatavyādhi-vidhiṃ caret). The head should be anointed (ghṛtamakta-śirāḥ), and ghee should be consumed at night followed by drinking warm milk (pibed uṣṇa-payo'nupaḥ).

Māṣa (Vigna mungo), kulattha (Dolichos biflorus), or mudga (Vigna radiata) may similarly be consumed mixed with ghee (ghṛtānvitān); or oil (tailam) or paste (kalka) of sesame seeds (tilānām) may be administered with milk (kṣīreṇa saha pāyayet).

Application of poultice (upanāha) and fomentation with warm balls (piṇḍa-sveda) prepared from meat (māṃsa) and grains/corns (dhānya) are beneficial (hitāḥ); pouring/affusion (secanam) of warm milk boiled with Vāta-mitigating Daśamūla (Bilva, Agnimantha, Śyonāka, Pāṭalā, Gambhārī, Śālaparṇī, Pṛśniparṇī, Bṛhatī, Kaṇṭakārī, Gokṣura) and other herbs should be done.

Lubricating/unctuous nasal medication (snigdhaṃ nasyaṃ), medicated smoking (dhūmaḥ), and therapies that nourish the head and ears (śiraḥ-śravaṇa-tarpaṇam) should also be performed. Herbs of the Varaṇādi Gaṇa (described in Chapter 15 of Sūtrasthāna) are crushed (kṣuṇṇe) and boiled in milk with half its quantity of water (kṣīram ardhodakaṃ pacet),

until only the milk remains (kṣīrāvaśiṣṭaṃ). After it cools down (tac chītaṃ), its essence/butter (sāram) is extracted by churning (mathitvā āharet). That ghee (havih), processed with herbs of sweet taste (madhurakaiḥ siddhaṃ), is ideal and highly praised (pūjitaṃ) to be used for nasal medication (nasyaṃ).
