Other traditional claims — continuation of the source’s numbered list

Draft translation of historical source claims; several entries require priority safety review and must not be treated as instructions for use.

43. The source claims that slightly warmed (lukewarm) tulsi-leaf juice placed in the ear relieves ear pain.
44. It recommends mixing amla powder and rose water and applying it around the eyes to reduce dark circles.
45. It claims that regularly eating papaya during pregnancy results in a beautiful child. This is an appearance-related claim made by the source, not an established fact.
46. It claims that regularly eating roasted gram and jaggery increases strength.
47. For people with nosebleeds, it recommends one glass of watermelon juice with two spoonfuls of sugar daily, claiming this resolves the problem.
48. It claims that daily application of aloe juice resolves a corn on the foot. Check the traditional plant-name spelling in the source.
49. It claims that regular consumption of garlic reduces blood glucose.
50. It states that an average person’s liver can process approximately 30 millilitres of intoxicating liquor in one hour. This is a source statement requiring verification, not safe-drinking guidance.
51. It claims that people with piles obtain relief from eating roti made with castor oil incorporated into the dough.
52. It describes boiled mung beans and their cooking water as useful for va (a traditional rheumatic or wind-related complaint; the term requires review).
53. It claims that putting two or three drops of rose water in the eyes daily reduces redness.
54. When an eye is discharging pus, the source recommends soaking cotton in Calotropis latex and placing it on the nail of the big toe. This unusual instruction has been retained as written and requires priority safety and transcription review.
55. It claims that sucking a lemon wedge filled with black pepper reduces jaundice symptoms.
56. It recommends one spoonful of powdered unripe mango kernel three times daily, claiming this relieves intestinal worms and bleeding piles.
57. For foul smell and pus discharge from an ear, it recommends ten drops of mint juice in the ear, claiming relief in about three days.
58. It claims that applying cumin ground in water to the face clears acne.
59. It claims that chewing akarkara relieves toothache. Retain the traditional ingredient name pending identification.
