sanskrit

In the preparation of decoctions, one should take the appropriate measurements of dried, sun-dried parts of the bark, leaves, fruits, and roots, cutting them into pieces. The cuts should be done in such a way that they are differentiated, and they should be mixed with water, either in eightfold or sixteenfold proportions. The mixture should be placed in a vessel and boiled until one-fourth remains. This is the method for preparing a decoction. The quantity of the liquid is four times that of the fat, and the medicine’s extract should be a fourth of the total. After combining these, one should cook the mixture until it reaches the desired consistency. Alternatively, in the case of decoction preparation, one should take equal measurements of the dried bark, leaves, fruits, and roots, and boil them in four parts of water until one-fourth remains. This is the method for preparing a decoction; the medicinal paste, prepared from the fat and the extract, should be four times the quantity of the liquid and should be cooked together until well combined.
