وصلاحها أن تشعل النار في كربها حتى يحترق ما فسد من ليفها وسعفها ثم تجود بعد ذلك، وكذلك حظلت، كما سيأتي.
And its remedy is to set fire to its trunk so that what has corrupted of its fibers and fronds burns, and then it will thrive thereafter. The same applies to 'ḥaẓilat', as will be mentioned later.
