Ayurveda offers the insight into which foods are good for which dosha. Foods also have specific healing qualities. For example bitter vegetables are good for diabetes, cranberries are good for kidney problems, etc. Thus the knowledge of food compatibility according to dosha and according to disease or organs provides one with a very powerful healing and prevention therapy. While foods are very helpful for the body, aromas and color therapies help balance the emotions and mind.
Aromas can be in the form of incense, essential oils, soaps, scented candles, sachets, etc.
Aromas are also specific for each dosha. Sandalwood is good for all doshas and is very useful for stress, worry, anxiety, nervousness, anger, impatience etc. Frankincense is good for fear and lethargy. White flowers like jasmine and gardenia are specific for anger and impatience. Jasmine, ylang ylang and patchouli are useful for depression.
