Purging with milk and the expressed juice of Ikshu and of Drákshá is also beneficial. Oils and Yavágus duly cooked with the drugs of the Surasádi, Ushakádi, Mustádi and the Varunádi groups would prove curative in a case of Kaphaja Mutra-krichchhra. 13 — 14.

Tri-doshaja Type: — The foregoing measures and remedies should be employed in the Tri-doshajatype of Mutra-krichchhra according to the nature and intensity of the predominance of the Doshas involved. Pulverised compound of Phalgu (Kákodumbara), Vriśchika (white Punarnavá), Darbha and Aśma-sára (dead iron) taken with water, potions of Surá (wine), the expressed juice of Ikshu, and the decoction of Darbha would relieve pain in a case of Mutra-krichchhra. 15.

Medicines and medicinal measures mentioned in the chapter on the treatment of Sadyo-vrana should be employed in a case of stricture due to any hurt (Abhigháta) to the urethra. Váyu-subduing remedies should be constantly used, and baths, fomentations, unguents, applications of Vasti and powders should be employed in a case of Purishaja Mutra-krichchhra. The treatment of the last two kinds (viz. Aśmari-ja and Sárkará-ja) has already been described. 16-17.

Thus ends the fifty-ninth chapter of the Uttara-Tantra in the Sus'ruta Samhitá which deals with the (symptoms and) medical treatment of Mutra-dosha.

Here ends the Káya-Chikitsá.
