Yawning, body ache, spitting, loss of digestive fire, and fetid mouth. One should cook a linctus mixed with ghee and honey; it destroys cough caused by chest lesions. Especially for children, the elderly, women, and the delicate and ease-loving. From an elephant stable, a horse stable, a crossroads, and a four-way intersection. - [Previous: 5.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.5.16) - [Next: 5.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.5.18) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.5) ## Linked texts (1) - [Aṣṭāṅgasaṃgraha](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha.5.17) — Vāgbhaṭa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.5.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.5.17) · Pramāṇa
