They are located at the end, middle, and beginning of life, day-and-night, and digestion, in that order. One should eat a small quantity of barley gruel prepared with milk from an earthen cup, an earthern vessel, or the palm of the hand, for the purpose of emaciation; and one should avoid sharp, hot, sour, and salty \[foods\]. In Puṣya and Āśleṣā, death occurs, and \[it occurs\] even after a long time in Maghā. There should be digestive agents for the wastes, according to the stage or sequentially. Milk boiled with the young shoots of that \[plant\] devoid of flowers and fruits is \[given\] in kapha-fever when pitta is aggravated. - [Previous: 1.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.1.22) - [Next: 1.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.1.24) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.1) ## Linked texts (1) - [Aṣṭāṅgasaṃgraha](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha.1.23) — Vāgbhaṭa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.1.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.1.23) · Pramāṇa
