For all diseases of an elephant Anuvāsana or Snehavasti is recommended. A bath after anointing it with oil or ghee is good. For skin diseases the ghee may be combined with Mañjal (Turmeric), Maramañjal or gomūtra (cow urine). If it suffers from enlargement of the belly, giving it a bath with sesame oil is good. It can be given Pañcalavaṇas and Vāruṇimadya to drink. If there is fainting it must be given rice mixed with Vlalari, Triphala, Cukku, Mulaku and Tippali and water mixed with honey to drink. If there is headache anointing the head with sesame oil and inhalation of the same is good.
