28.20

Therefore, one who has eaten should receive an unctuous enema, but one who has eaten should not receive an evacuating enema. / In those afflicted with anaemia and the like, an unctuous enema, having agitated the doṣas, would produce abdominal disease; / in those having catarrh and the like, it would only further increase the doṣa. / Having lubricated and fomented [the patient], and having massaged his head and ears with oil cooked with devadāru, pūtīka, kaṭabhī, mustard, viḍaṅga, and kaṇṭakārī with sesame, one should apply sudation.
