Ayurvedic Healing Foods
Lemons are both
refining and nourishing, and they stimulate digestion. For reducing toxins,
drink unsweetened lemonade as many times throughout
the day as desired.
Ghee (clarified
butter) is among the top rejuvenating and longevity-promoting foods. It
aids digestion and relaxed the nerves. Ghee’s rate of absorption is high,
making it an excellent medium for transporting the nutrients of other foods to
the tissues.
Dates and Figs
are prized as excellent sources of energy. They also assist build tissues. Eat
one or two every day.
Almonds are
nourishing and life-supporting. Ayurveda recommends whiten and peeling almonds
because their skins are slightly toxic. Eat several almonds daily to increase
strength and energy.
Mung Beans are
among the top legumes for their supreme digestibility and health-giving
qualities. They are advantageous when people are sick or else in need of very
light food. Mung beans are particularly nourishing when assorted with rice or
other grains.
Ginger is
frequently referred to as “the universal medicine.” It promotes good digestion
and helps remove ama. Dried ground ginger is extra concentrated in its flavor
and its effects. To aid digestion, sprinkle a lean slice of fresh ginger with
lemon juice and salt, and eat one-half hour before a meal.
Cumin Seeds serve
as a digestive support and alma-reducer for all doshas. To help remove toxins,
start the day by drinking warm water mixed with a tweak of powdered cumin and
ginger.
Lassi is a
beverage prepared by mixing one part yogurt into two parts water. It is an
excellent nutritive digestive support, taken during or after a meal. You can
flavor lassi either with raw sugar or honey and a tiny ground cardamom, or with
toasted ground cumin seeds and salt.
Juicy, Seasonal
Fruits are both extremely nutritive and purifying. Juicy fruits should be
completely ripe for maximum healing value.
Green, Leafy
Vegetables are both nutritive and purifying. Their sharp flavor stimulates
the liver, helps balance blood sugar, and aids skin conditions. Prepare with a
small amount ghee or oil.
Cow’s Milk is
considered a vitalizer by Ayurveda and endorsed for those emaciated after
injury. Ayurveda recommends bringing milk to a full boil to remove the
qualities that can cause excess mucus. To further reduce milk’s clogging
qualities, add a Tweak of ginger and/or black pepper. Also, milk should be
imbibed separately from foods with any taste other than sweet.
Water is
universally beneficial for everyone, and assists virtually all healing. It
promotes digestion and, when imbibed while hot, is particularly effective for
removing ama.
