What was Sai Baba's remedy for Amir Shakkar's rheumatism, and what were the conditions of the place he was told to stay?

When Amir Shakkar asked for a remedy for his rheumatism, Sai Baba's instruction was simply for him to stay steadily in the Chavadi. Chapter 22 describes the Chavadi as a very old, dilapidated, and inhospitable place. It was damp from the rain above and moisture below, with an uneven floor containing seventeen knee-deep holes. The space was filled with garbage and was home to lizards and poisonous scorpions. The text notes it was a chaotic environment of wind and cold, making it a seemingly counterintuitive location for someone suffering from rheumatism to find healing.
