Effects of successive oil enemas

Given by the rule, the first oil enema oils the groin region, the second removes vata from the whole body, the third brings lustre, colour and strength, the fourth and fifth oil rasa and blood, the sixth flesh, the seventh fat (per the commentary), the eighth and ninth bone and marrow, and the tenth calms disorders of semen. Accordingly a person given niruha should receive nine or eighteen oil enemas.
