Changes

While administering medicines and also while following regimens for the maintenance of health, the ultimate aim should be to balance the ''dhatus''. Even healthy persons should use the food with different ''rasa'' and ''guna'' alternately so as to maintain the equilibrium of ''dhatus''. After taking the food dominated by a particular attribute, it is desirable to neutralize its effects with regimens that have opposing attributes. [7]
