Whatever appetite arises from craving, diminution of the doṣas, or the irregularity of the disease,

One who knows the wholesome regimens should arrange food suitably according to the circumstances.

And the prescribed gruels, unctuous nasal drops, medicated smoking, and gargles should be employed.

One should burn a patch of black-soil field with not-too-dry Rohiṇī wood.

And having smeared it with cow dung, burnt it again with Khadira wood, and cleared away those ashes, one should pour oil there when it has cooled.

And after it has rested for a night, one should dig it up.

Taking that soil soaked with oil, one should boil it with the pañcamūla.

And having strained that decoction, one should boil it with eight times as much milk down to the remainder of oil.

This Aṇutaila, administered as nasal drops, also destroys all vāta diseases.
