तरुरिव मूलच्छेदाद्दंशच्छेदान्न वृद्धिमेति विषम् | आचूषणमानयनं जलस्य सेतुर्यथा तथाऽरिष्टाः ||४४||

[Benefits of first aid treatments] As a tree stops growing up as soon as the root is cut, similarly the action of poison does not spread further when the bite site is excised. The process of achooshana (suction) induces the poison mixed with blood to flow out. As the flow of water is arrested by a dam so also the flow and spread of poison can be arrested by tying arishtas (tourniquet).
