931 Mundar.--A small shrub, of two kinds; both bitter, pungent, hot,
and laxative; useful in disorders of mucus, and increase of fat in
the abdomen, itch, and swellings; and is an antidote to poisons.
932 Moot.--P. Shasha, or Kumeer. A. Bowl. Urine. That of cows,
buffaloes, horses, goats, camels, rams, and men, is saltish and
bitter; dry, light, aperient, and cardiac; increases appetite and
relish for food; useful in general swellings; clears the brain and
all excretory passages; increases bile; beneficial in disorders of
wind, Badgola, piles, and dropsy; is vermifuge, and used in Juzam,
marasmus, flatulence, internal itchiness, and want of appetite.
Cow's is the best and most effectual. Elephant's urine is an
antidote to poisons, and generally vermifuge; useful in Juzam and
Badgola. Buffalo's, beneficial in swellings, Badgola, piles, marasmus,
and seminal weakness. Horse's is aperient; cures disorders of mucus,
and Daad. Goat's is an antidote to poisons; removes difficulty
of breathing, jaundice, and marasmus. Ram's cures emaciation,
swellings, Juzam, piles, seminal weakness, and costiveness. Ass's is
lithontriptic; useful in seminal weakness, Juzam, idiotism, internal
itchiness, and dropsy, and is vermifuge.
Human urine is an antidote to poison, and particularly tonic. When
a choice is to be made between male and female, this rule may be
observed. Of the cow, sheep, and goat, the female; of elephant, horse,
camel, and ass, the male; also the male of the human subject. Should a
person at any time feel symptoms of indigestion, and be afraid of the
consequences, a little of his own urine will relieve all unpleasant
sensations and expedite digestion, but this can only be resorted to
by people of no caste.
933 Monje.--The leaf and external fibrous covering of a kind of reed
like grass, used to make rope. It is equally cold and hot; useful in
acne, disorders of blood, diseases of the eyes, and all complaints
affecting the urinary bladder, or urethra.
934 Mooser.--Sweet, bitter, heavy; promotes appetite, cures piles
and disorders of wind; increases semen, and is an ingredient in all
tonic prescriptions. I fancy this is the Shukakool.
935 Moocherus.--"Bombax Heptaphyllum. The tree." The gum of the
Sembill tree, also so named by the author of the Dhara Shekoi, but
it is commonly understood to be the flower of the Soopearie tree. It
is cool, heavy, and astringent; increases semen; restrains diarrhoea;
increases the tone of the digestive organs; removes disorders of blood,
bile, mucus, and general heat.
