sanskrit

Some authorities say that what is beneficial for Vata may be harmful for Pitta, and hence nothing can be universally wholesome or unwholesome. However, this view is not entirely correct. Indeed, substances can be beneficial or harmful by nature, or by their combination, depending on the specific type of disease.

In this context, substances that are generally beneficial include water, clarified butter, milk, and boiled rice, due to their inherent qualities. Conversely, substances that are generally harmful include those involved in burning, cooking, or poisoning processes, such as alkaline or poisonous substances. These substances may become poisonous due to their combinations. What is beneficial for Vata may be harmful for Pitta.
