Añjana
As eyes are associated with tejo (agni) mahābhūta predominantly, continuous use of sauvirāñjana provokes kapha dosa.
Therefore rasañjana (prepared from darvi kvätha-Berberis aristata) is to be applied once in a week to alleviate the vitiated kapha for keeping the vision clear.
ततो नावनगण्डूषघूमताम्बूलभाग्भवेत् ॥6॥
After añjana vidhi, nāvana karma (nasya or nasal administration), gandüşa (mouth gargles), dhümapăna (inhalation of medicated fumes) and tämbüla-sevana (pâna chewing) are to be conducted.
