oldest healing Science in existence, from which all other systems

healing system which has three main focuses:

notes that certain foods increase air and other foods reduce air.
In general, excess air is reduced by eating cooked or steamed
foods, and eating every three or four hours. Foods like carrots,
rice and moong beans reduce excess air. The persons having fire
constitution are said to have Pita Dosh & tend towards more
of heat & warmth. The balanced fire constitution leads to
strength, commanding capacity & goal oriented people. If the
constitution is imbalanced it leads to hot temperament & irritability;

diarrhea, ulcers, toxic blood, liver, kidney, gall bladder, heart
and spleen disorders.
