Balance. That is the true core goal of Ayurveda. Simple, yet complex. Beautiful, yet hard to achieve. With this concept of balance in mind, the Vedic thinkers laid out a simple and elegant way of working on issues: through opposites.
Know the qualities, then, add the opposite in order to balance it out.
Ayurveda recognizes 22 qualities but the concept works for every quality you observe.
