घी · Ghee
1 tsp warm cow ghee on an empty stomach or in warm milk at night, and the same ghee rubbed into the dry itching patch — taken inwardly it carries the other herbs deeper, applied outwardly it stops the cracking that keeps the itch going. An itch with a spreading rash or a fever is not dryness; get it seen.
