Answer

Study question (generated from the text)

The thin are built up with nourishing medicines and the stout are made lean with reducing (karshana) measures.

Detailed answer

Verse 29 says prameha patients are of these two kinds by birth or through unwholesome diet. The course that follows is a dry diet that avoids alcohol, milk, ghee, sour things, sweets, curd, sugarcane and meat; oleation with sesame, linseed and mustard oil and emesis with neem juice and madanaphala; purgation; a niruha enema with cow urine and sesame oil; and grains and pulses such as kodo millet, barley, wheat and green gram.
