##'''Drugs, equipments and other resources''': Kitchen appliances and utensils of varied sizes should be available within the kitchen. Arrangements should be made for the availability of bedding with appropriate furnishings (bedsheet and pillow), towel, clean cloths, cotton, wool and various other equipments for smooth induction of oleation, massage, sudation, emesis, purgation, medicated enema, and ''[[nasya]]'' to the patients. There should also be grinding stones with pestle, knife, smoking pipes, weighing scale, enema tubes and measuring vessels. Food articles like ''ghee'', oil, muscle fat, honey, salt, gruel, various types of wine and ''dhanyamla'' should be available in the hospital.
