How killed mercury is taken

The patient takes killed mercury daily, according to the measure of the doshas, rubbed with gold, in well-boiled milk with jaggery; afterwards woman's milk is given as nasya and the body is massaged by women's hands. By this method the mercury is said to pervade the whole body, rubbing with gold to give more vigour and freedom from disease, and a rasayana regimen is to be followed daily as well.
