[Principles of management of jwara] When premonitory symptoms manifest or at the onset of the fever, dieting or fasting is useful because the disease originates from the amashaya. In such a case, intake of kashaya (decoctions), massage, oleation (snehana), fomentation (swedana), thick ointment (pradeha), sprinkling (parisheka), anulepana (anointing with pastes), emesis, purgation, decoction and oily enema, pacification measures, nasal errhines, fumigation, medicated smoking, collyrium, medicated milk and a specific dietetic regimen should be indicated as per the condition.

जीर्णज्वरेषु तु सर्वेष्वेव सर्पिषः पानं प्रशस्यते यथास्वौषधसिद्धस्य; सर्पिर्हि स्नेहाद्वातं शमयति, संस्कारात् कफं, शैत्यात् पित्तमूष्माणं च; तस्माज्जीर्णज्वरेषु सर्वेष्वेव सर्पिर्हितमुदकमिवाग्निप्लुष्टेषु द्रव्येष्विति ॥३७॥
In all types of jirna jwara (chronic fever), internal use of medicated ghee prepared is recommended. Medicated ghee pacifies vata by its unctuousness, kapha by (ghee infused with) kapha pacifying drugs, and pitta by its coldness. Therefore, ghee is useful in all forms of jirna jwara like fire subsides with water.
english translation
भवन्ति चात्र- यथा प्रज्वलितं वेश्म परिषिञ्चन्ति वारिणा। नराः शान्तिमभिप्रेत्य तथा जीर्णज्वरे घृतम् ॥३८॥
Here are (the verses) – As water is sprinkled on burning houses to douse (the fire), ghee is administered to manage chronic fever.
english translation
स्नेहाद्वातं शमयति, शैत्यात् पित्तं नियच्छति। घृतं तुल्यगुणं दोषं संस्कारात्तु जयेत् कफम् ॥३९॥
By its unctuous property, it subdues Vata, by its cooling property it subdues Pitta; and ghee inspite of its being possessed of qualities similar to those of Kapha, subdues it when prepared with suitable drugs.
english translation
नान्यः स्नेहस्तथा कश्चित् संस्कारमनुवर्तते। यथा सर्पिरतः सर्पिः सर्वस्नेहोत्तमं मतम् ॥४०॥
There is no other unctuous article which imbibes the quality of drugs to the extent that ghee does. Hence ghee is regarded as the best of all unctuous articles.
