For example, for someone who has a fiery nature or pitta dosha, Dr. Patel would recommend coconut oil, which is cooling. |
The foundation of Ayurvedic treatment is to put the inborn dosha back in balance when it veers too far one way or the other. |
Taking a person's pulse and telling them their dosha is unbalanced and they should eat more nuts or less spicy foods, etc., hardly shows concern for the patient as a person. |
