Answer

Study question (generated from the text)

On an empty bowel the oil rises upward and causes faults, so the patient is first fed suitable food and the enema is given while his hand is still wet.

Detailed answer

The text also gives the oil's measure as half the niruha fluid, and says the enema causes fever if given after burnt food, and harm if given after very unctuous food or to an uncleansed body.
