As very small quantity of water can’t extinguish big fire, similarly small doses (insufficient dose) of medicine can’t inhibit or treat disease. Similarly excess water in field   damages crop, the same way excess of medicine damages health of a person. Hence medicine should be given as per the status of disease; neither should it be given in very higher dose nor in very smaller doses to treat disease.(313-314)

 

Satmya (adaptability) as per habitat:

Hence medicine should be given as per the status of disease; neither should it be given in very higher dose nor in very smaller doses to treat disease.[313-314]

Any food substance which is habituated to a particular person and which are not conducive or not wholesome to body and mind is called as apathya.   Any person who is consuming such type of food or who is following unwholesome behavior should not instantly hold it. If any unwholesome food is prohibited instantly the person is not benefitted from it.

 

Balhik means people living in balakha bukhara, shadwal, shulik, yawan and shaka are satmya   to mamsa ( meat), godhuma(wheat), madhvik ( Alcoholic beverges) surgery  and agnikarma (cauterization). Satmya is those daily activities and food which have become habitual to body. People from east are habituated to milk while people living in sindha desha are satmya to fish. Ashmak, and  Avantika (Ujjain) residing people are satmya to oil and ghee. People from Vidyanamalaya (Malbar region ) are satmya to kanda (rhizomes , tuber) roots and fruits. People from north are satmya to peya , and people from south are satmya to mantha. People from central part  are satmya to yava, godhuma and gorasa (milk). Medicines must be administered along with the food which is satmya to the patient . Medicines given with satmya food nourish the body fast and do not create much untoward effects. Medicines given without consideration of desha and kala and administered as mentioned in yoga ( formulation) may lead to wrong management. (315-320)
