कषायतिक्तमधुराः पित्तमन्ये तु कुर्वते । शमनं कोपनं स्वस्थहितं द्रव्यमिति त्रिधा ।। १६ ।।

sanskrit

While the rest of the three tastes tikta rasa, Uṣhṇa rasa, kaṣhaya rasa mitigates kapha and increases vata doṣha. Kashaya, tikta, madhura rasas mitigates pitta and katu, amla, lavana rasas increases pitta dosa. The above-mentioned tastes are associated with the substances. Those substances are of 3 kinds viz., 1. Shamana dravyas: Alleviates dosas 2. Kopana dravyas: Vitiates dhatus 3. Swastha hita: : Which maintains the normalcy. Eg. Drugs having sweet in taste, unctuous & heaviness in qualities reduces the vitiated vata due to the opposite qualities. Ghṛita reduces pitta due to madhura rasa & other gunas. Similary, honey reduces kapha due to the astringent taste and dryness. The combination of milk and fish increases the doșhas due to the incompability. The food items, which are taking regularly i.e. barley, wheat, sali rice, milk etc., are suitable for the maintenance of the positive health.
