sanskrit

[Management of persons having different types of physical constitution] Four types of regimens are prescribed for the benefit of these four categories of individuals. For an individual having the balance state of all dosha, all the regimens to be adopted by him should be of balanced type. When there is predominance of dosha, depending upon the nature of the dosha involved, it is useful to adopt such three regimens as would be in contradiction with these three predominating dosha till there is normalcy of agni. It is only after the normalcy of the agni is attained, balanced regimens should be adopted. Similarly, various therapies and other regimens should be administered to these four categories of individuals. We shall now explain them in detail.
