| Procedure of Use |
When a bullock is young and if it is burdened with heavy load, its skin in all likelihood ruptures and yoke gall formation ensues. The bullocks run the risk of yoke gall while carrying heavy loads on uneven roads also. In such cases, pus and ulcer formation may also occur, eventually paving the way for yoke gall. The best way to treat yoke gall is to wash the yoke region with lukewarm water. After washing Dudiben prepares a paste of sesame (Sesamum indicum) oil, butter and puts a camphor (Cinnamomum camphora)) pill in it. The yoke gall is healed after application of this paste thrice in two days. Dudiben says the practice is traditional and she has learnt it from her elders |
