As a sort of general prophylactic, mud kneaded with ghee (clarified butter) and Vidanga, (*Embelia Ribes*) should be applied to the roots, after which milk diluted with water should be poured. As a remedy against barrenness, a hot decoction should be made of Kulattha (Dolichos Uniflorus or Biflorus), Masha (Phaseolus Roxburghii), Mudga (Phaseolus Mungo, Tila (Sesamum Indicum), and Yava (barley); which, when cooled, should be poured round the roots.
