Source: Asian Agri-History: Paśu Āyurvēda (Veterinary Medicine) in GaruḍapurāṇaHarītakīkalpa (हरीतकीकल्प) refers to medical preparations for the treatment of an epidemic outbreak amongst horses, according to sections on Horses (Gajāyurveda or Aśvāyurveda) in the Garuḍapurāṇa.—In the stud form when suddenly the horses assume uniformity in colour and features or die together, it must be immediately considered as an epidemic outbreak. It has to be managed and should take proper precautionary measures to prevent it. [...] The medicine known as harītakī-kalpa given to horses under these circumstances will be beneficial. The mode of administration of harītakī-kalpa is as follows:—“On the first day, five Harītakī (Terminalia chebula) pasted together with gomūtra (cow's urine), taila (gingili oil), and Lavaṇa (rock salt) are given. Every day the dosage is increased by five harītakī till the maximum of hundred.The uttama-mātrā (best dose) is hundred, and eighty madhyama (average) and sixty Harītakī is adhama/kaniṣṭha-mātrā (the smallest 2, 3, 4, 5 dose)”.
