Natural Medicine — Food as Natural Medicine is the idea of preventative health with everyday foods, to use as tools for our immune system and the body’s own physiological way of healing. Food is more than just filling your stomach.
Food is medicine.
Indian culture has a powerful truth to teach us that spans over centuries:
Your kitchen is your primary medical store.
According to Ayurveda, the right food creates and consumes in accordance to your Prakruti (body constitution) and our Rutu Chakra (seasonal cycle), a preventive of illnesses before they happen. In our traditions, fasting was never starvation. This was scientifically formulated work to give the digestive system rest and detoxify the body, which helps in restoring balance along with yoga asanas. These customs were deeply rooted in seasons, festivals and the rhythm of nature.
The timeless principles he wrote about — we often ignore these today:
- We do not understand our Prakruti and eat
- We adopt random diet crazes
- We eat at the wrong time
- We ignore seasonal foods
- We go against the natural digestion cycle
And then we wonder why sickness comes knocking at our door.
One of the most important aspects of life is the timing of food consumption.
If you don’t heed it — or ignore it — disease gradually creeps into your body.
Ayurveda teaches us:
- What to eat
- When to eat
- How much to eat
- And when not to eat
All with the harmony of nature, seasons and body type.
