According to INDIAN ASTROLOGY, When a planet becomes combust, it becomes weak by combustion and thus it becomes unable to protect its significances fully and produce proper results like a planet which is not combust.
So the study of combust planets in VEDIC ASTROLOGY becomes very important in order to make predictions about the significances ruled by these planets in different horoscopes. Combust planets need to be strengthened in order to get proper results for the significances ruled by them. But strengthening the combust planets is not a simple task and takes expertise. The job is comparatively easy when the combust planet in a horoscope is working positively. In case of positive combust planets in a horoscope, the best and easiest remedy to strengthen these planets is to wear gemstones for the combust planets. Wearing gemstones for the positive combust planets provides them extra strength and they become capable of protecting their significances and producing proper results. But in case, a combust planet in a horoscope is working negative in that horoscope, it becomes comparatively difficult to strengthen that planet.
In case of negative combust planets, gemstones can not be prescribed for these planets, as gemstones should not be worn for negative planets, even if such negative planets are combust. Strengthening negative combust planets with the help of gemstones can cause very bad results and thus use of gemstones should be avoided in case of negative combust planets and gemstones should only be used for strengthening positive combust planets. Good ASTROLOGERS know that in case of negative combust planets, the strength is provided with the help of Mantras and Poojas for these combust planets and not by using gemstones.
For example if Mercury is negative and combust in a horoscope, the best way to strengthen Mercury for that horoscope, so that it may produce proper results regarding its significances is to chant the Beej Mantra of Mercury for as many times a day as is prescribed by your ASTROLOGER and for as long a duration of time as is prescribed by your astrologer.
