This book contains recipes for simple meals that can give therapeutic effects, which are part of the daily diet of many people living by the rules of Ayurveda, now not only in India, but also far beyond its borders: the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Ayurveda is a 5,000 year old system of natural healing that has its origins in the Vedic culture of India. The primary goal of Ayurvedic medicine is to promote good health rather than fight disease. It is based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the mind, body, and spirit. According to the knowledge of Ayurveda, the three Ayurvedic body types, or doshas, are Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. In nature, water, fire, and air always communicate with each other. The same process is in the human body. Thus, different combinations of the three doshas determines individual characteristics of each personality. Imbalance of the three doshas is the main cause of any disease. People awarded with a perfectly balanced constitution by nature usually have a gifted inner sense of harmony, good health, and excellent digestion. However, most people dominate one or two doshas, and to achieve a balance, they need to maintain a healthy lifestyle and eat right. Ayurveda is a perfect complement to the live food lifestyle and cuisine. To get you started, here are some delicious Ayurvedic recipes to inspire you.
