c15.9

For faint cold sprinklings and baths, cooling precious stones like the *candrakānta* and necklaces, sandal and other cooling ointments, fanning with a fan, cold and fragrant drinks are generally to be applied. For giddiness pills and medicines are to be given. For apoplexy ointment and nasal remedy should be given, the patient should be fumigated, he should be pricked with needle in the flesh under the nails, his beard and hair should be pulled out, he should be bitten by teeth and the like. If he is not awakened by such stimulants, there is no remedy for him (Su; Vang; Bhāv l. c.; AS 4.9; AHr 4.7; Vr 17).
