in a case of Adhi-mámsa, the additional fleshy growth about the roots of a tooth should be removed (with a knife) and treated with a compound of Vachá, Tejovati, Páthá, Sarjiká and Yava-kshára, pasted together with honey. Powdered Pippali, mixed with honey, should be used as a gurgle (Kavala); and a decoction of Patola, Triphalá and Nimba for washing the affected part. Errhines (Siro-virechana) and inhalation of Vairechana smoke, (that lead to the secretion of mucus from the head), would likewise prove efficacious in such cases. 17.
