Using food as a natural medicine is an incredibly powerful health method which promotes overall wellness, immune boosting and injury recovery by employing every day foods to help combat illness and assist body natural healing capabilities. Food isn’t just for satisfying your hunger.
Food is medicine.
A powerful truth that has been imparted by Indian culture over centuries:
The kitchen is your first pharmacy!
This should be clear from Ayurvedic perspective, and that is why following the right food at right time as per your Prakruti (body constitution) and Rutu Chakra (seasonal cycle) can combat illness before it happens. In our traditions, fasting was never meant starvation. Along with the yoga asanas, it was a scientifically designed practice to rest the digestive system, detoxify the body and restore balance. These practices were intimately tied to seasons, festivals and nature’s rhythms.
Today, we tend to take these timeless principles for granted:
- Eating without knowledge of your Prakruti
- We indulge in fad diets
- We eat at the wrong time
- We ignore seasonal foods
- We violate the natural cycle of digestion
Then we ask why illness knocks on our door.
Timing of eating the foods will have some of the most important aspect in life.
If you don’t get it — or neglect it — disease gradually enters your body.
Ayurveda teaches us:
- What to eat
- When to eat
- How much to eat
- And when not to eat
All in line with nature, seasons and your body type.
