sanskrit

In this context, after making the patient undergo oil massage and fomentation, and ensuring they have consumed a liquid-based diet appropriate to their dosha, or having consumed barley gruel, the patient should be positioned either seated or standing at the proper time. Without causing difficulty in breathing, the concerned body part should be securely, but neither too tightly nor too loosely, tied with a bandage made of cloth, leather, or bark of a tree. Then, after making the necessary preparations and using the appropriate surgical instrument, the vein (Sira) should be punctured.
