[Effect of long term consumption of long pepper] Long peppers are pungent but sweet in vipaka, heavy, not too unctuous, hot and moistening. They are considered to be among the most effective of drugs and exhibit their good or bad effect fairly quickly. If used properly and sparingly, they are beneficial but still lead to consequent accumulation of doshas. If used regularly, however, they aggravate kapha due to their heaviness and moistening properties, pitta due to their hotness while they are unable to pacify vata because of little unctuousness and hotness. Hence one should not use long peppers excessively.

[Effect of long term consumption of alkali] Alkali, endowed with hotness, sharpness and lightness at first acts like a liquid, but dries up subsequently. It is used for digestion, burning, and tearing but if used excessively, damages hair, eyes, heart and virility. The people of villages, cities, communes and districts who use it continuously suffer from blindness, impotency, baldness and grey hair, and constricting pain in the cardiac region, such as the inhabitants of the eastern region and China. Hence one should not use alkali excessively.

[Effect of long term consumption of salt] Salt is endowed with hotness, sharpness, moistening, laxative, and relishing qualities and is not much heavy to digest and unctuous. It gives immediate benefits when used proper course and combination. But when used habitually or excessively, it causes accumulation of dosha. Its excessive usage causes malaise, laxity and debility in the body. The people of villages, cities, communes and districts who use it continuously are exceedingly depressed, have loose muscles and blood and low tolerance for pain. Such inhabitants as those of Bahlika, Saurashtra, Sindhu and Sauveera (countries / regions in ancient times) even take salt with milk. Moreover, such regions of the world have barren, saline soil and plants – herbs, shrubs, trees and big trees – that do not grow or are stunted because of damage by salt. Hence one should not use salt too much. Even the persons who tend to use excessive salt fall victims to untimely baldness, graying of hair and wrinkles.

[Satmya(adaptation/habituation)] Satmya(habituation) means that which suits the self. Satmya and upashaya have the same meaning. Based on one’s habitual usage of rasas, satmya could be categorized into three types- superior, inferior and medium/average. The use of all the rasas collectively is considered superior, those that use only one rasa are considered inferior, while all scenarios that lie between these two are considered medium. Effort should be made to gradually move up from the inferior and the medium types of satmya to the superior type. Even if one has achieved the superior satmya or is habituated of using all the rasas collectively, the individual should strive to abide by the factors of dietetics and nutrition as mentioned in the following verse.
