Hindu Medicine c7.113

c7.113

The structure of the charm and the elements of which it is composed convey the impression that Vedic medical wisdom, uncertain of the character of the disease and not at all sure of the efficacy of the separate means at its disposal, is inclined to combine every available approach into a single strong weapon to overcome the demon disease; because of its uncertain origin and the manifold aspects of its strength, this demonic force seems too elusive and powerful to be conquered by half-measures.
