"BALIOSPERMUM MONTANUM, Mull. Sans. Dantī. Vern. Dantī, Hind. Beng.
The seeds of Baliospermum montanum are described as drastic. Like croton seeds they are boiled in milk before use. The root of the plant is considered cathartic. Both are much used in diseases where purgatives are indicated. The following are a few examples of prescriptions containing these medicines.
Nārācha rasa. Take of mercury, borax and black pepper, one part each, sulphur, ginger and long pepper two parts each, seeds of Baliospermum montanum nine parts; powder the ingredients and make into two-grain pills with water. These are given in constipation and tympanites.
Danti haritaki. Take twenty-five large chebulic myrobalans and enclose them in a piece of cloth; then take of the roots of Baliospermum montanum and Ipomoea Turpethum (trivrit), each two hundred tolās, water sixty-four seers, boil them together till the water is reduced to eight seers. Strain the decoction, take out the chebulic myrobalans and fry them in thirty two tolās of sesamum oil. To the strained decoction add two hundred tolās of old treacle ; then boil till reduced to the proper consistence for a confection. Now add to the mass the following substances, namely powdered root of Ipomoea Turpethum (trivrit) thirty-two tolās, long pepper and ginger, each eight tol|s, and stir them well ; when cool add thirty-two tolās of honey, cinnamon, cardamom, leaves called tejapatra, and the flowers of Mesua ferrea ( nāgakesara ) each eight tolās, and prepare a confection. The chebulic myrobalans should be kept imbedded in the medicine. Two tolās of the confection and one of the chebulic myrobalans are to be taken every morning.
Guḍāṣṭaka. Take of danti, trivrit and plumbago roots, black pepper, long pepper, ginger and long pepper root, equal parts in fine powder ; treacle, equal in weight to all the other ingredients and mix. Dose, about a tolā every morning in flatulence and retained secretions, anasarca, jaundice, etc."
