This chari chandra is also rubbed all over the body, forehead, chest, back, and head. Mixing one's own urine with soil and applying it to the forehead or body relieves headaches, backaches, and fevers. Bauls believe that if one is able to raise the sperm at the moment of ejaculation, one can attain eternal youth. Bauls believe that mixing chari chandras, i.e. feces, urine, rajas, and semen together and applying it to the body prevents skin diseases.) {{cite book}}: Check |isbn= value: invalid prefix (help)
