Ashtangasamgraha 23.18

23.18

'Between meals' is when medicine is taken at midday after the morning meal has digested,

and food is taken again in the afternoon after that has digested.

By this, the night is also explained.

That is for one with kindled digestive fire in diseases born of vyāna.

Then, taking that fat from above the water with either a hand or an earthen saucer, having added a paste of vāta-destroying medicines, one should cook it according to the method of cooking medicated fats.

This is Aṇu oil, which removes all vāta disorders.

It is called Aṇu oil because it is produced from the ingredients of Aṇu oil.

That is nasal suppuration; while the discharge of that name arises from śleṣman.
