For these diseases—especially for pīnasa, pūtināsya, bhraṃśathu, nāsāsrāva, nāsāśoṣa and pratiṣyāya infusions (avapīḍa) and other nasal remedies are prescribed. Many recipes are related to pīnasa. Persons suffering from this are advised to stay in a house protected from wind, they should cover the head with a heavy piece of cloth, should avoid cold water, intercourse with women, very dry food, grief and anxiety, fresh spirituous drinks. In cold affection, fumigation should be applied (Car 6.26.116-139; Su 6.23; AS 6.24; AHr 6.20; Vr 60; Bhāv; Vang l. c.)
