Note 57 — Chapter III · DISEASE DEITIES.
Reading edition
For the cure of valo (a disease in which the throat is inflamed), pieces of the stalk of kukad-vel (a kind of creeper) are tied round the neck or the horns of the diseased animal and no other food except ghi and molasses is allowed to it for two or three days. A handful of salt is sometimes thrown on the back of the animal.57 Sesamum oil is also said to work as a good medicine in the case of the same disease.58
