Source: archive.org: Sushruta samhita, Volume IMukhanetra (मुखनेत्र) refers to (the procedure of) “eye and mouth (washes)” according to Cikitsāsthāna chapter 24:—“the mouth (mukha) and the eyes (netra) of a person of sound health should be washed with the decoction of the barks of Kṣīra trees mixed with milk, or with that of Bhillodaka, or of Āmalaka, or with (a copious quantity of) cold water. This procedure would soon prove efficacious in destroying such affections of the body, as Nīlikā, dryness in the mouth (mukhaśoṣa), pustules or eruptions, Vyaṅga and the diseases due to the (concerted) action of the Rakta and Pitta, and by such washings the face becomes lighter and the sight stronger”.
