One should take a course of ''anu-taila'' every year, during three seasons, of the pre-rainy season, the autumn and the spring, when the sky is free from clouds. One, who practices ''nasya'', per the prescribed method, at the proper time, will keep his sight, smell and hearing unimpaired. His hair and beard will never become white or grey; his hair will not fall off, rather will grow in abundance. Torticolis, head-ache, facial paralysis, lock-jaw, rhinitis, hemicranias and tremors of the head will be alleviated thereby. The ''nasya'' will nourish the ''shiras'' (vessels), joints, ligments and tendons of cranium, giving them greater strength.  The face will become cheerful and plump, the voice will become mellow, firm and stentorian, and all the senses will become clearer and strengthened considerably. Diseases related to head and neck would not attack him all of a sudden even though he might be aging. The effects of senility would not affect the head. [56-63]

Indian sandal wood (Santalum album Linn.), eagle wood (Aquilaria agalocha Rox.), cinnamom leaf (Cinnamomum tamala Nees.), Indian barberry (Berberis aristata DC), liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra Linn.), country mallow (Sida cordifolia Linn.), lotus rhizomes (Nymphaea lotus Linn.), small cardamom (Elattaria cardamomum Maton), false black pepper (Embelia ribes Burm.f.), wood apple (Aegle marmelos Corr.), sacred blue lily (Nymphaea caerulea Sav.), (Coleus zeylanicus Benth.), (Vetiveria zizanioides, rush nut (Cyperus tenniflorus), cinnamom bark, (Cinnamomum tamala Nees.)  nut grass (Cuperus rotendus Linn.), Indian sarsaparilla (Hemidesmus indicus  R.B), ticktrefoil (Desmodium gangeticum DC), cork swallow wart (Leptadenia reticulate W& A), painted leaved uraria (Uraria picta Desv.), ''deodar'' (cedrus deodara Loud.), climbing asparagus (Asparagus racemosus Willd.), fragrant piper (Pisum sativaum  Linn), Indian night shade (Solanum indicum Linn.), yellow berried night shade (Solanum xanthocarpum Schrad), Indian groundsel (Pluchea lancolata Oliver & Hiern), lotus filaments ( Nelumbonucifera Gaertn.),- all these should be boiled with hundred times in volume of pure rain water. When the decoction is boiled down to ten-times the quantity of oil to be prepared, take it off from the fire. Take one-tenth of this decoction and mix it with equal quantity of oil, boil till only the oil remains. Repeat this ten times. At the tenth boiling add an equal quantity of goat’s milk. This is the prescribed method of preparing ''anutaila'' for the purpose of ''nasya''. Half ''pala'' of this oil should be applied. After oleation and sudation of the head, one should drop the oil into the nostrils with a cotton swab, twice every third day and for seven such days, while residing in a place which is warm and free from draughts, taking wholesome food and observing self control.
