<div style='text-align:justify;'>Balanced use of all six tastes is recommended for dosha and tissue balance, and as such, just as excessive usage (atiyoga) can lead to abnormalities, so can non-use (ayoga). For example, suppose a sweet taste is not consumed. In that case, it may create vata dosha and pitta dosha aggravation owing to a decrease in kapha, which regulates them and avoids further diseases.<ref>P. S. Dravyagunasutram. 1st ed.
