Vāta-lump, upward movement of vāyu, sciatica, intermittent fever, heart disease, internal abscess, and swelling—that milk cures rapidly. Thus \[ends\] Garlic-milk. Oil, clear wine, cow urine, sour fermented gruel, and barley-ash— drunk together, it cures abdominal lump, belly disease, and abdominal distension. Thus \[ends\] the Five Oils. With a decoction of the five roots containing alkali, one should drink śilājatu; by its use one is freed from a vāta-lump. Thus \[ends\] the formulation of śilājatu. Having eaten parched barley paste with soup of pippalī or with radish juice, unctuous, one is freed from upward movement of vāyu and from vāta-lump. - [Previous: 6.5.93](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.caraka~en-mt.6.5.93) - [Next: 6.5.99](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.caraka~en-mt.6.5.99) - [Up: 6.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.caraka~en-mt.6.5) ## Linked texts (1) - [Carakasaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.caraka.6.5.94) — Agniveśa (Āyurveda) & Caraka, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.caraka~en-mt.6.5.94](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.caraka~en-mt.6.5.94) · Pramāṇa
