The condition, classed as pitta disorder in ayurveda, requires blood purification and not the creams. An experienced ayurvedist can judge the disease just by a look at the face and character of the marks. The decoction specified here may be taken on empty stomach before breakfast,
only once a day.
Add following coarsely ground powders
together in equal quantity by weight. Take 4 tsp
(20-25 gm) powder mixture in 4 cups water (400 ml) and
boil on low heat (simmering heat) till about 0. 5 to
0.75 cup (50-75 ml) remains.
To know this instant, you
should mark water level in a vessel, while using same
vessel daily.
