Precautions
Procedure of Use Small animals frequently suffer from worm infestation in their skin. They develop small ulcers starting with top of head, back and then all over the body. In such a case, Thakor inserts his hand in the mouth of the affected animal and rubs salt on its palate. This practise removes blisters inside and the animal is relieved. He then applies limbodi (Azadirachta indica) oil or karanaji (Pongamia pinnata) oil all over the body of the animal. This cures the animal of dermatitis. Insert hand in the mouth of the affected animal and rub salt on the palate. This practice removes the blister and animal feels relieved. He then applies limbodi (Azadirachta indica) oil or karanaji ( Pongamia pinnata) oil all over the body of the animal.
