Rav Ashi found Ravina smearing medicinal ערלה oil on his daughter. He objected that:

• it was inappropriate

• the oil had no medicinal properties

• his daughter's life wasn't in danger--it was forbidden to use the ערלה oil

According to the first version of the Gemarah, Ravina responded:

• the girl's fever was indeed fatal

• ערלה products may be used even in non-fatal conditions

• The ערלה products were more than 3 years old and permissible to use
