Chap. XL.j CHIKITSA STHANAM. 671<br />

Pratisarana :—A Pratisdrana remedy may be<br />

of four kinds, viz.^ that prepared with a Kalka (paste),<br />

Easa-kriy^, honey and with powders. Prepared with<br />

the appropriate drugs, such a compound should be rubbed<br />

gently with the tip of a finger in a case of an affection of<br />

the mouth. An intelligent Physician may exercise his<br />

discretion in selecting the drugs to be used in the pre-<br />

paration of such a remedy. The symptoms of a satisfac-<br />

tory or unsatisfactory Pratisirana should be respectively<br />

identical with those of a Kavala. The ranges of thera-<br />

peutic applications are also co extensive in both the<br />

cases. In other words the diseases of the mouth which<br />

yield to the use of medicinal gargles, equally prove<br />

amenable to that of Pratisarana remedies. The diet in<br />

both the cases should be composed of light and non-<br />

phlegmagogic articles of food. 47.<br />

Thus ends the Fortieth Chapter of the Chikitsita Sthinam in the<br />

<strong>Susruta</strong> <strong>Samhita</strong> which deals with the inhalation of medicinal fumes,<br />

snuffs, and gargles.<br />

Here ends the Chikitsita SthsCnam.
