Ayurveda Nutrition for Healing

Ayurveda, the 5000-year-old medical system of India, states that poor nutrition is the main cause of disease. This system uses food to heal and prevent illness. Ayurveda is also called the ‘science of longevity’ because it offers a complete system to live a long healthy life without medication. Ayurveda is based on the belief that nothing is right for everyone and everything is right for someone. This belief comes from an understanding that each of us is unique. Simply put, each of us is biochemically different, with different hormonal, enzyme and neurotransmitter levels. Each person reacts to the world in different ways. If we are all different, why would we even consider the idea that there must be one program of nutrition that is best for everyone? Ayurveda is a wholistic health-care system that recognizes that every action we take in life has a reaction. Thus it is a science of bringing awareness to all of our actions: how and what we eat, how we live, what we think, how we relate intimately with others and ourselves. In a practical format we will explore the influence of vital energies of foods, herbs and spices on our well being. Ayurveda is a compassionate journey of self-discovery, providing you with the tools to becoming your own best doctor. Ayurveda teaches that foods are carriers and balancers of Prana, the Vital Life Force. Each food has its own unique characteristics of energy and flavor through which it produces a specific effect on our constitution. We will explore these origin concepts. Ayurveda is the art of conscious living, meaning Knowledge of Life. This system uses natural whole foods to both treat and prevent illness. It is the original way of life ~ the original approach to eating according to what Mother Nature gifted us with. 5/5 (after 4/8)
