Internal piles :— Now we shall describe the
remedial measures which bring about the falling off of
the invisible (^internal) haemorrhoids. The patient should
take Haritaki with treacle every morning ;
or a hundred
Haritakis should be boiled in a Drona measure of cow's
urine and the patient, observing a strict continence,
should take with honey every morning as many of them
as suit his constitution ; or he should be made to
take every day a paste made of the roots of Apdmdrga
with the washings of rice and with honey. S'atdvari
pasted with an adequate quantity of milk or •,
a Karsha
measure of) the powders of Chitraka mixed with a copious
quantity of good Sidhii wine, or a gruel (Mantha)
(neither extremely thick nor thin), or powdered barley
or wheat mixed with Takra and Bhalldtaka powder,
should be administered without any salt. A quantity of
Takra should be kept in an earthen pitcher, plastered
inside with a paste of Chitraka roots, and given to
the patient in food and drinks whether fermented or
not. A Takra should also be separately prepared as in
the preceding manner with Bhdrgi, Asphotd, barley,
Amalaka and Guduchi and administered similarly ; this
is called the Takra-kalpa (butter-milk compound). 12.
