In the ancient wisdom of healing, it is taught that when the affliction known as upadaṃśa arises, purification can be achieved by venesection at the midpoint of the penis. Yet, this procedure must be performed with utmost care, for the resulting ulcer, if neglected, can destroy the glans itself. Alongside such measures, the patient should drink a decoction prepared from paṭola, nimba, triphala, and guḍūcī, enriched with guggulu and khadira. This potent mixture dispels upadaṃśa from the body. For wounds caused by upadaṃśa, a paste of triphalā, roasted in a pot and blended with honey, can be applied to the lesion, bringing swift healing. Likewise, a remedy made by cooking triphalā, nimba, bhūnimba, karanja, khadira, and similar herbs with ghee proves excellent for eradicating this disease. In cases of fractures, the healer must first recognize the break and gently irrigate it with cold water. Afterwards, a cooked ointment is applied, and the limb is bound carefully with kusa grass. To nourish the patient and promote recovery, black gram, meat, ghee, milk, soup, and barley water are given. For those suffering from broken, dislocated, or fallen bones, the use of garlic, honey, ghee, and sugar paste hastens the union of the bones. A special mixture—containing aśvattha, triphalā, vyosha, varabhi, and guggulu—restores fractured joints to their former strength. For all varieties of leprosy, the prescribed course begins with emesis, purgation, and bloodletting, using the virtues of vacā, vāsā, paṭolā, nimbā, kalinī, and twigs of bark. Purgation is further aided by a decoction containing trivṛt, karṇaphala, and trikatu, taken with honey; this blend soothes disorders of wind and the heart. Leprosy is also treated with oil prepared from manaḥśilā and black pepper, which, when applied, destroys all forms of the disease. Similarly, a mixture of śivā, pañcaguḍa, and rice serves as an effective ointment. Another remedy involves a paste of karañja and iḍagaja combined with cow's urine; massaging with karavīra and anointing with oil also helps remove leprosy. A paste made from turmeric, malaya, rāsnā, guḍūcī, iḍagaja, āragvadha, and karañja is especially praised for its efficacy. Manaḥśilā, viḍaṅga, vāgajī, and mustard seeds, ground with karañja and urine, form a paste that dispels leprosy as surely as the sun drives away darkness. Likewise, viḍaṅga, iḍavacā, kuṣṭha, niśā, sindhūttha, and mustard, ground with sour urine, create a paste that destroys both ringworm and leprosy. For ringworm, a powder made from prapunnāṭa seeds, subīja, dhātrī, sarja resin, snuhī, and sauvīra is highly effective. The leaves of āragvadha, ground with buttermilk, are renowned for curing ringworm, scabies, leprosy, and sidhmā. To strengthen the body, promote intelligence, remove leprosy, and increase desire, one should drink warm vāgajī and follow a diet of milk, sesame oil, triphalā, honey, vyosha, bhallātaka, and sugar. A powder of viḍaṅga, triphalā, and kṛṣṇā, taken with honey, conquers leprosy, worms, urinary diseases, ulcers, and fistula-in-ano. Those who consume abhayāriṣṭa, ariṣṭa, āmalaka, and niśā are certain to overcome all types of leprosy and skin diseases. There is no doubt in this teaching. A remarkable remedy for leprosy and rejuvenation involves burning the root of khadira in a pot with ten thousand holes, then mixing its juice with dhātrī juice and honey. Drinking a decoction of dhātrī and khadira, combined with vāgajī, swiftly destroys śvitra, even when it is white as conch or the moon. By drinking oil prepared with bhallātaka for a month, disease is conquered; similarly, khadira, taken with water and other drinks, removes leprosy from the body. For incurable śvitra, a paste of aparājitā is applied, along with vāsā, purified triphalā, paṭola, and karañja. Eating nimbā and kṛṣṇavetra, prepared as a decoction and paste, renders the body strong as a diamond, cures leprosy, and bestows a life of a hundred years. To cure eczema and scabies, the juice of durva grass is mixed with four times its quantity of oil, cooked, and applied to the skin. For skin diseases and ulcers, oil is prepared from the bark of trees, arka, kuṣṭha, salt, urine, gambhārī, and citraka. In the treatment of acid reflux, a decoction is made from amla fruit, neem fruit, citraka mixed with cow's urine, vāsā, amṛtā, parpaṭikā, neem, bhūnimba, alkali, triphalā, and kulattha, then mixed with honey. This blend dispels acidity. Another decoction, made from phalatrika, paṭola, bitter herbs, and sugar, and drunk with yaṣṭimadhu, conquers fever, vomiting, and acidity. Vāsā ghee, bitter ghee, pippalī ghee, guḍa, and kūṣmāṇḍa are also beneficial for acidity. Pippalī mixed with honey destroys acidity, while pippalī, guḍa, and water are wholesome for phlegm and weak digestion. Ajājī and dhanyāka, ground and cooked with ghee, remove disorders of phlegm, bile, and taste, and cure weak digestion. A decoction of pippalī, amṛta, bhūnimba, vāsā, arishta, parpaṭa, and khadira arishta relieves eruptions, pain, and fever. For purgation and to calm erysipelas and fever, ghee mixed with triphalā juice and trivṛt is administered. The aṣṭaka decoction, prepared from khadira, triphalā arishta, paṭola, amṛta, and vāsā, conquers measles and smallpox. It also destroys skin diseases such as leprosy, erysipelas, eruptions, and itching. Rubbing garlic powder on the skin removes mosquitoes. For skin tags, warts, mosquitoes, spots, and black marks, excision with a blade is performed, followed by thorough cauterization with alkali and fire. For glandular swelling in donkeys, a paste of paṭola and nīlī is used. Boiling the scalp with guñjā fruit and bhṛṅgarāja juice cures severe disorders of the throat, skin, and wind. Finally, for restoring black hair, one digests and cooks arka, bone marrow, triphalā, nālīchā, and bhṛṅgarāja with iron powder and sour gruel. Thus, the ancient sages have provided a treasury of remedies for the restoration of health, the alleviation of suffering, and the prolongation of life.
