6.38
Because it is an opponent of fire, one with dull digestive fire should avoid water / altogether; likewise those suffering from eye discharge, spleen disease, abscess, and abdominal swelling.
Other medicine generally accomplishes its action after a day and night.
Proper and improper [application of medicine] is equal to wine [taken] with and without proper method.
A drink [is taken] after boiled śāli rice when vāta and pitta are attendant.
One should give an unctuous enema with oil cooked with substances that overcome vāta.
Having made your dwelling at the root of a tree, may you, the Father, protect him always!
Svāhā!
