कुशाह्वयैः समं बन्धं पट्टस्योपरि योजयेत् । शिथिलेन हि बन्धेन सन्धिस्थैर्यं न जायते ॥ १६ ॥
bandage as kusha (splints) and then bandaged again, as if pressing firmly over it. By loose bandaging, stability (immobility) of the joint is not achieved
गाढेनाति रुजादाहपाकश्वयथुसम्भवः । त्र्यहात्त्र्यहादृतौ घर्मे सप्ताहान् मोक्षयेद्धिमे ॥ १७ ॥
and by very tight bandaging there is the possibility of pain, burning sensation, ripening, ulceration/suppuration, or manifestation of swelling. In summer, bandages should be removed every third day, in cold season once in seven days,
साधारणे तु पञ्चाहाद्भङ्गदोषवशेन वा । न्यग्रोधादिकषायेण ततः शीतेन सेचयेत् ॥ १८ ॥
in moderate season once in five days or at such intervals depending on the condition of the fracture and the dosha. It (fracture) should be bathed either with cold decoction of herbs of Nyagrodhadi Gana
(chapter 15 of Sutrasthan) and when there is pain, with milk boiled with herbs of Panchamula. Or after carefully considering the nature of the land and season, chakrataila added with herbs
विभज्य देशं कालं च वातघ्नौषधसंयुतम् । प्रततं सेकलेपांश्च विदध्याद्भृशशीतलान् ॥ २० ॥
which mitigate Vata, may be poured over the place comfortably warm, pouring decoctions and application of paste of herbs should be continuous both in very cold state.
