Das große Ayurveda Kochbuch (The great Ayurveda cookbook)

150 Simple, Indian-Inspired Recipes

Ayurveda - the oldest natural medicine in the world - is a comprehensive doctrine of healthy and correct living. Medicine and nutrition are not separate; food items are also remedies.

The foundation of Ayurvedic philosophy is the doctrine of the five elements, which are assigned to three vital basic forces, the three Doshas Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. These three forces or bioenergies control all processes in the body and mind and also determine the individual constitutional type.

Description

An imbalance of the Doshas can lead to physical ailments and diseases as well as energetic disturbances (lethargy, lack of concentration, nervousness, etc.). Therefore, the goal of Ayurvedic nutrition is to eliminate imbalances and restore and maintain the balance appropriate to the individual constitution. Depending on the constitution, metabolism, and lifestyle, each person needs a different diet tailored to their needs that brings the body into balance, ensures good metabolism, and aids in the elimination of accumulated waste and toxins.

The book includes:

  • The basics of Ayurvedic nutrition, concise and clear
  • Determining one's own constitutional type
  • Practical advice, tips, and tricks for Ayurvedic cooking
  • 150 simple, extremely tasty recipes, a large part of which are vegetarian, but also a chapter on fish and meat, as well as teas, beverages, and breakfast dishes.
