January is thirty-one days; the power of phlegm is strong in it; one must have a mouthful of warm water before breakfast; sexual intercourse is praiseworthy therein; one must have hot vegetables such as celery, watercress, and leek; entering the bathroom and massaging the body with ointment is useful in it; one must be careful of sweet things, eating for example fresh fish, and having yogurt.

February is twenty-eight days; the winds become different in it; rain increases; grass appears; water flows in the hollows; it is useful to eat garlic, the meat of bird and animals which are hunted and fruit; one must decrease eating sweet things; abundant sport and movement is praiseworthy therein.
