For example gokshura breaks up urinary stones. When coriander is added to it, it travels to the kidney and breaks up kidney stones. Like herbs, different foods are better for some doshas while aggravating other doshas. For example broccoli, which contains bitter taste, helps reduce or balance Pitta and Kapha doshas, but will aggravate Vayu dosha- causing gas and constipation. 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.
