What is Satmya?
Satmya refers to food or habits that are beneficial or advantageous for a person. It signifies the adaptability of individuals to foods and habits they have been using continuously over a long period without experiencing any harmful effect. The factors considered include ritu (season), desha (habitat), prakriti (constitution), food material and roga (disease).
Okasatmya is the adaptability to something generally non-beneficial that becomes suitable and non-harmful for a person once they are accustomed to it. Adaptability varies from person to person - which is why it must be assessed.
Backbone of treatment
Treatment is selected on dosha prakopa, prakriti, ritu and desha - yet the history of satmya is often overlooked by physicians and undisclosed by patients.
Allergy awareness
Allergic disorders commonly follow changes in season, habitat or food habit. Knowledge of drug, food and seasonal allergy is vital for diagnosis, treatment planning and pathya-apathya.
Practical utility
Estimate the tendency to fall sick with change, select medicine per suitability, plan diet, and adopt precautions when climate, habitat or diet changes.
