Tonsilitis
1979

Treatment: First practice Shivásana for five minutes, then Matsyamudrá for five minutes, and thereafter Matsyendrásana for a maximum of one minute in each position. The performance of all three Ásanas will make one round.

Practise three rounds. Take your usual massage,(1) and after that do Shavásana for at least 100 seconds. Then take a stroll for a few minutes. Ten minutes after the stroll, drink some warm water.

If you feel any pain while pressing hard the spot located two fingers’ width up, on the left or right side of the urinary passage, then you should drink half a glass of slightly-warm water, mixing one teaspoonful of baked clove powder in it.

If pain is felt while inhaling at a spot three fingers’ width up, on the left or right side of the urinary passage, when those regions are pressed hard with the thumb, then in that case also, ten minutes after your stroll you should take one teaspoonful of baked clove powder in tepid water.
