Here is the verse Dominik referred to:

rogas tu doṣa-vaiṣamyaṃ doṣa-sāmyam a-roga-tā |
[nijāgantu-vibhāgena tatra rogā dvi-dhā smṛtāḥ || 20 ||]
Vāgbhata, Aṣṭāṅgahṛdaya, Sūtrasthāna, I.20

Shrikant

I'm just seeing this today.  Shrikant nailed it and Vitus found the best SS citation.  I can't improve on anything.

Vāgbhaṭa says, somewhere in Sūtrasthāna 1 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdaya, that doṣasāmyam is health and doṣavaiṣamyam is illness. 

In Canto 12 of the Buddhacarita, when Arāḍa Kālāma meets the Buddha, they enquire politely about each other's dhātusāmya.  (doṣa and dhātu often mean the same.)  Olivelle 2008, Clay Library:
