Synopsis

1. Ayurveda, or Ayurvedic medicine, is a system of traditional medicine native to India

In Ayurveda, every human being is a unique combination of five elements provided to us by Mother Nature; Water, Earth, Fire, Air and Ether. In Ayurveda there are three primary life forces in the body or three biological humors. These are called Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Vata denotes Ether and Air, Pitta stands for Fire and Kapha is Water and Earth.
This book details various recipes to suit all body types - Vata, Pitta or Khapa. With the aim to offer a balanced diet, and maintain a healthy lifestyle, the recipes keep in mind one rule - food should be high in nutritional and medicinal value and retain its flavor.
