Listen now, as the sacred teachings unfold, offering a wealth of remedies drawn from the wisdom of the sages. First, let us consider the healing of fevers. There is a ghee, rare and precious, that soothes the burning of pitta fevers. This ghee is prepared with dried ginger, parpaṭa, musta, bāla, kośīra, and sandalwood, each herb lending its cooling and calming power. For fevers of the phlegmatic type, a decoction of ghee, dried ginger, and durālabha is prescribed. When bāla is added, the remedy becomes potent against all fevers, especially when combined with dried ginger and parpaṭa. For those suffering from pitta fever, an excellent formula is made from kirātatikta, nārī, guḍūcī, dried ginger, and musta. To bring down high fevers, a decoction of bāla, kośīra, pāṭhā, kaṇṭakārikā, musta, and suradāru is recommended. Another beneficial mixture combines dhanyāka, nimb, and musta with honey, or, alternatively, paṭola leaves, guḍūcī, and triphalā. When drunk, these mixtures not only dispel all fevers but also kindle the appetite and ease disorders of wind, especially when made from harītakī, pippalī, āmalakī, and citraka. A powder or decoction of dhanyāka, kośīra, parpaṭa, āmalakī, and guḍūcī, blended with honey and sandalwood, is also effective. Another remedy, praised for balancing all three doṣas and removing fevers, is composed of haridrā, nimb, triphalā, musta, and devadāru. Astringent and powerful against fevers of all doṣas is a decoction of kaṭurohiṇī with paṭola and its leaves. For relief from asthma, cough, and similar ailments, one may take a powder of kaṇṭakārikā, dried ginger, guḍūcī, and puṣkara, and consume nāgabalā powder. In fevers caused by kapha and vāta, warm water prepared with viśvaparpaṭa, kośīra, musta, and sandalwood quenches thirst. Alternatively, very cool water can be given to relieve thirst, vomiting, fever, and burning. For vāta-type fevers, a decoction of the five roots beginning with bilva is advised. Pippalī root, guḍūcī, and viśvabheṣaja form a digestive decoction that brings great relief in vāta fevers. To destroy pitta fever, a decoction of parpaṭa and nimb with honey is unfailing, retaining its efficacy however it is prepared. In more severe cases, cauterizing the feet or forehead with an iron rod is advised, while a decoction of bitter pāṭhā, parpaṭa, viśālā, triphalā, trivṛt, and milk acts as a purgative, cleansing all fevers from the body. Now, let us turn to the restoration of hair. The Blessed Lord declares that after seven nights, even the bald may see auspicious hair grow by applying a paste of burnt elephant ivory mixed with barley juice and collyrium made from milk. Oil prepared with the juice of bhṛṅgarāja, in a quarter part, and mixed with guñjā powder, is especially good for promoting hair growth. Anointing the scalp with a mixture of cardamom, māṃsī, kuṣṭha, and urā, or with a paste of guñjā fruit, removes baldness caused by the moon’s rays. A paste of mango stone powder gives the hair a fine texture, while a blend of karanja, amalaki, aloe, and lac removes redness from the scalp. When mango stone marrow and amalaki are used together, the hair grows strong, thick, long, unctuous, and resists falling out. For further benefit, excellent oil prepared with viḍanga, gandha-pāṣāṇa, and four times the amount of cow’s urine, or with manasa stone, is recommended. Massaging the head with this oil destroys lice and nits, and freshly burnt conch powder rubbed with lead is also effective. O Bull-bannered one, know that the hair becomes smooth and lustrous black with bhringaraja, iron powder, triphala, and bījapūraka. Gray hairs may be restored to black by cooking indigo and karavira with jaggery and applying this paste. Mango stone marrow, triphala, indigo, bhringaraja, aged and cooked iron powder, and sour gruel together also blacken hair. For scalp diseases, a paste of cakramarda seeds, kuṣṭha, and castor root ground with very sour gruel is applied. Oil prepared with rock salt, vacā, asafoetida, kuṣṭha, nāgeśvara, śatapuṣpā, and devadāru is highly beneficial. When mixed with one-fourth part of gopurī juice and applied to the ear, it cures severe ear pain. Filling the ears with sheep’s urine and rock salt removes foul odor and discharge caused by worms, while the juice of jasmine petals or cow’s water destroys pus discharge. For further treatments, kaṣṭha, black gram, long pepper, tagara, honey, pippalī, apāmārga, ashwagandha, bṛhatī, and white mustard are used. Barley, sesame, and rock salt are excellent for massage; when applied to the penis, arms, and breasts, they enhance their size. Pungent oil, bhallātaka, bṛhatī, and pomegranate bark can also be used. Oiling the penis with these barks increases its size. Turning now to the care of the eyes, Hari speaks: by applying the juice of sobhāñjana leaves mixed with honey, eye diseases are removed without doubt. Eighty sesame flowers, together with jati, uṣa, nimba, amalaki, dry ginger, long pepper, and rice, are to be ground with rice water and dried in the shade to make a tablet. When this is applied to the eyes with honey, it dispels darkness and similar disorders. For night-blindness and the dense veil of darkness, take the marrow from bibhītaka fruit, conch powder, manaḥśilā, neem leaves, and black pepper, and grind them together with goat’s urine. Use four parts conch and half as much manaḥśilā, add half as much saindhava salt, grind all with water, and make a pill dried in the shade. This, when applied as collyrium, destroys the dense veil of darkness and sticky eye disease. Trikaṭu, triphalā, and the fruits of karanja are also celebrated as great medicines for the eyes. Thus, the sacred knowledge of healing is revealed, offering solace and restoration to those who seek it, by the grace of the ancient sages and the Blessed Lord.
