2.38
He who proceeds having accomplished his purpose surpasses everything.
Especially a woman;
and one should treat her diseases with mild, sweet, cool, and comfortable medicines, food, and regimens;
and one should not administer emesis and the like to her,
nor bloodletting,
except that from the eighth month onward, [one may administer] an asthāpāna or an anuvāsana enema;
moreover, in disorders manageable by emesis and the like, one should approach her with mild measures that achieve that purpose, [and] one should treat a pregnant woman without causing agitation, as if [holding] a vessel full of oil.
And here are verses on the subject:
Here, that which arises from trauma is of four kinds, due to wounds, excisions, burns, and the like.
Celestial water revives him and quickly restrains his fever.
Easily in a child four years old up to twelve years old.
Massage along with drinking and inunction of these is beneficial for a child.
