नात्युष्णशीतं लघु दीपनीयं रक्तेऽपनीते हितमन्नपानम्| तदा शरीरं ह्यनवस्थितासृगग्निर्विशेषेण च रक्षितव्यः ||२३||

sanskrit

[Diet after bloodletting] After bloodletting, it is beneficial to take diet that is neither too hot nor cold, is light (to digest), and is appetizing. During this period, the body is vulnerable to relapse of various other forms of blood-related diseases, so the agni(digestive power) should be protected with care.
