DOSHIC DIET
All good health starts with digestion; with the proper metabolism of food.
One of the most important things we can do for our health every day of the year is to eat wisely.
Food is considered just as powerful as medicine. Infact, there is a sloka (writings of the ancient texts of ayurveda) that says “food is medicine when consumed properly.”
If we eat foods uniquely suited to our physiology, and follow a sattvic (life supporting) routine that enhances digestion, our bodies will reap the benefits and we will find that our days will be happier, healthier and filled with real vitality at any age.

What is the difinition of health?In sanskrit, health is termed as 'Swastha'. 'Swa' means 'my purest self' and 'stha' means connected. According to this definition, disease is a condition of being dis-connected with your own self.
Our rapidly envolving lifestyle makes us highly disconnected with our own self due to the increasing presence of smart phones, television, social media, processed / junk food and stress in our lives.
Why do we need Ayurveda today?According to Ayurveda the human body knows how to heal and correct its self. We just need to allow it to happen.
Inside your body is a wonderful pharmacy. You name it, the human body can make it. Ayurveda is a science that helps enhance the efficiency of this natural pharmacy.
What is the description of the human body in Ayurveda?Our body that which keeps dying, perishing and eliminating waste every moment.
Therefore the efficiency of our waste elimination determines the quality of our health. It implies that if there is a block in the flow of our waste elimination, there is a consequent reduction in our energy levels and this will impact our health. After all, health is all about energy.
What is disease?Our body communicates to us through symptoms such as pain, headaches, spasm, fever, skin rashes, fatigue, low appetite, allergies, sleeplessness, diarrhea and vomiting. These symptoms represent the actions of our body by eliminating things it does not want.
When there is a block or decreased functioning in any part of the waste removal system in our body, metabolic waste will accumulate. This accumulated metabolic waste is referred to as 'Ama' in Ayurveda, becomes toxic and is the root cause for all known diseases. Ama in turn attracts and makes the body more vulnerable to all kinds of diseases. If a disease does not orginate from an accident or trauma, Ayurveda says that Ama is the source. This Ama has to be constantly eliminated effectively to maintain health and efficiently of body functioning.
What is the gut and why is it important?The gut is the channel where energy enters our body. The health of a person can be analysed by two states of the gut:
DRY we experience dehydration and constipation as the sticky fat content is high and this can lead to allergies and inflammatory conditions.
WET we experience smooth bowel movements as the non-sticky fat, which enables free flow of metabolic energy, is predominant.
What is Panchakarma and how it can help you?Panchakarma is a detoxification treatment in Ayurveda which are done to remove the accumulated toxins and mucus 'Ama' from the body. For more information contact Ayurvedic Medispa.
