The general properties of the flesh of animals belonging to this species are to increase the consistency of stool and urine. They are heat-making in potency, sweet in digestion as those of the preceding group. They subdue the Vāyu and generate the Pittam and Kapham. They are demulcent and beneficial in cough, dyspnœa and cachexia.
