19.18
in the bone, violent burning; in the marrow, yellow discoloration of the nails and eyes; / and seated in the semen, it produces foul-smelling, yellow-looking semen.
Food made of jaggery, flour-based food, curd with salt, slimy foods, sour wine, / parched grain, dried meat, eating incompatible foods together, and heavy, unwholesome, or heartburn-causing food, / and sleeping during the day—a patient suffering from swelling should avoid these, as well as sexual intercourse.
Taking oil from these, combined with boar's fat, one should cook it with a paste of bilva root and liquorice, along with milk.
With this one should perform errhines and oil-head-poulticing.
Or oil containing liquorice [paste] and milk, prepared with a decoction of all fragrant spices;
and he should inhale unctuous smoke.
