Ayurvedic recipes

Delicious delicacies and doing something for your health at the same time - the Ayurvedic healing art offers delicious recipes, which are at the same time a gourmet menu and well-being food. With these six recipes you pamper body and soul.

Smell, see, taste - in an ayurvedic meal, all senses eat. The sound of biting into a crusty bread nourishes body and mind no less than the aromatic flavor of a dish or its enticing scent.

A special role in the ayurvedic diet is played by the flavors, which are also called "rashas": bitter, pungent, tart, sweet, sour and salty. A balanced menu should contain them all, but not every dish is suitable for all people. What is important is a type-specific compilation of the "Rashas" to balance the life forces. Only then can the food have a positive effect on the immune system and digestion.
