घोरानृतुकृतान् रोगान्नाप्नोति स कदाचन | अत ऊर्ध्वं द्वादशाशनप्रविचारान् वक्ष्यामः | तत्र शीतोष्णस्निग्धरूक्षद्रवशुष्कैककालिकद्विकालिकौषधयुक्तमात्राहीनदोषप्रशमनवृत्त्यर्थाः ||५६||

sanskrit

A person who follows the prescribed regimen during the seasons will never suffer from severe seasonal diseases (which are caused by imbalances in the body due to changes in weather). Therefore, we will now discuss the treatment practices related to the twelve types of food and their qualities—such as cold, hot, oily, dry, single-dose, and bi-dose medicines—used for balancing the doshas (bodily humors) in various ways. These treatments aim to restore harmony by addressing the specific imbalances caused by the weather conditions.

sanskrit

The treatment for those suffering from excessive thirst, heat-related disorders, indigestion, or who are affected by conditions like blood pitta or poisoning, as well as those experiencing fainting or weakness (especially in women), is to use cold, cooling foods and drinks. These should help alleviate the symptoms by reducing heat and providing nourishment, thus restoring balance to their bodily humors.

sanskrit

The treatment for individuals afflicted by a combination of kapha and vata disorders, who are debilitated and have consumed excess oily or fatty foods, and for those with dry or dehydrated bodies, is to provide them with warm, easily digestible foods. These foods should be nourishing and help restore balance, while also promoting the elimination of accumulated doshas (imbalanced humors) from the body.

For individuals suffering from excess fat, those afflicted with urinary disorders (meha), or those with bodies dominated by kapha, it is recommended to provide them with dry foods that help to reduce the excess.
