These ingredients, with the exceptions noticed below, are reduced to a paste with water and added to the oil, which is then boiled with an equal quantity of water till the latter is evaporated, and lastly strained. Camphor, musk, storax and the substance called \*nakhi\* should be added after the process of boiling is finished, and the oil strained. Oils for rheumatism and nervous diseases, are sometimes rendered fragrant by the addition of camphor alone. - [Previous: c4.s3.28](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.dutt-1877.c4.s3.28) - [Next: c4.s3.30](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.dutt-1877.c4.s3.30) - [Up: c4.s3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.dutt-1877.c4.s3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.dutt-1877.c4.s3.29](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.dutt-1877.c4.s3.29) · Pramāṇa
