After preparing the Lehya paka, two prastha of honey is added and the confection is matured in a heap of grains for 15 days. It is indicated in asthma, cough, the eleven types of edema (Sopha), vomiting, abdominal tumors, anorexia, hemorrhoids, anemia, chronic fever, chronic rhinitis (Pinasa) and hoarseness of voice.
