28.27

However, the followers of Dhanvantari say: / One should not administer an enema at night, for agitation by oil arises from the night; / during the day, when the doṣas reside in their proper places and the digestive fire is endowed with the essence of food, / and having anointed [him] and fomented [him], one should apply a poultice so that burning does not occur. / In the event of burning, the treatment is like that for an abscess.
