sanskrit

Then, at another time, during the ordinary time of the forenoon, having administered the prescribed quantity of emetic substances, decoctions, and powdered medicines, one should observe the specific condition of the abdomen and induce vomiting as appropriate; in the case of unsuitable, repulsive, ill-smelling, or difficult-to-see vomit, one should consider opposite purgatives. For delicate, lean, youthful, aged, or timid individuals among those eligible for vomiting, one should administer milk, curd, or other similar substances according to the condition, and while using warm medicinal drinks, one should remain patient for a moment. By the appearance of sweat, if relaxation has occurred, one should understand that it has moved from its natural position, and then, understanding the occurrence of well-being, one should perform the procedure of supporting the joints with the fingers, touching the throat with one hand while seated cross-legged, until it is properly expelled from the body.
