Ayurvedic Medicine Is Composed of The Six Taste

  • Your kitchen cabinet is also your Ayurvedic medicine cabinet because
  • everyday foods,
  • herbs, and
  • spices can have medicinal as well as nutritional properties.
  • What you ingest therefore has a profound effect on your health. In this blog we provide you with guidelines for specific foods you should emphasize or avoid, as well as herbs and spices you should keep on hand and use to gently balance the three doshas.

Eating the correct foods and herbs for your constitution can ease many problems, from indigestion to headache to fatigue. It can even cause excess pounds to disappear without your counting calories or depriving yourself.
