This medicine has been listed in several sources with 21 or less ingredients. In some sources it is ordered to be taken in a decoction of Tinospora (Sle tres) and Shilajit (Brag zhun); these, therefore, are probably the remaining 2 ingredients intended in the name ‘Catechu 23’. Our source above added Myrrh, making 22 ingredients.
