sanskrit

For a person with oily warmth and excessive softness of the body, or for one who has received excessively strong medicine, one should avoid excessive treatment. In cases where there is an excess of vitiated bile due to overindulgence in purgation, there can be a strong manifestation of doshas, leading to an aggravation of vāta and a significant loss of strength. To treat this, one should apply ghee and use cooling methods such as baths or mixtures of sugar, honey, and medicinal lehes. In the event of excess treatment with purgatives, there may be an increase in kapha and a later resurgence of redness in the body, which also causes a strong manifestation of vāta and loss of strength. For this condition, one should bathe in extremely cool water and use cold rice water mixed with honey to induce vomiting, providing a bowel remedy with a basti (enema). Additionally, one should give milk ghee and offer rice water for nourishment, also providing other milky substances for sustenance.
