5.4

From [suppression of] feces arise cramps in the calves, runny nose, headaches, / upward vāyu, cutting pain in the rectum, and constriction of the chest. / Because of the drying up of the rasa and other tissues it is consumption; it is the king of diseases because of its royal pre-eminence among them. / Cooking bamboo manna and fine wheat flour in milk, one whose digestive fire is blazing should drink it. / With prasṛta portions of ghee, honey, muscle fat, and oil one should prepare / a palliative enema, combined with half an akṣa of rock salt and half a pala of hapuṣā. / The bathing of a child should be performed under the constellations Puṣya and Mūla, and on junction days.
