INTRODUCTION

There are so many health and diet fads out there it can be difficult to know what
works and what is just the latest trend out there. Ayurveda has been around for
thousands of years, and there have been no negative reports or studies that show
it’s not good for you. In fact, research studies have shown that there are aspects
of Ayurveda that can be incredibly beneficial for your health, and it is
recommended by some physicians to be practiced alongside Western medicine.
Ayurveda[1]
Ayurveda combines all those properties of nature that we have heard so much
about – spices, herbs, aromatherapy, massage and diet. But it is the concept of
taking care of your digestive system that is the foundation behind the theories of
Ayurveda. If you take care of your digestion, you are taking care of the rest of
your body.
Unlike the multitude of diets out there, Ayurveda is not a diet, it just involves
changing what you eat and how, based on your predominant dosha. Each person
has a predominant dosha as well as the other two doshas. The three are Vata,
Pitta and Kapha, and if any of them become imbalanced, health problems arise.
Ayurveda is about working with natural ingredients to keep these doshas
balanced and therefore preventing illness and disease.
Don’t fret that you have to come up with complicated menu plans or scour the
earth for rare and expensive ingredients. None of that is necessary; you simply
need to change the foods you eat to those that are natural, organic and fresh.
How easy is that? There are different foods suitable for each dosha, so it’s
important to learn what your predominant one is. After that, it’s all so incredibly
easy you won’t believe it!
Busy days mean upset digestion, so the use of Ayurveda herbal blends,
aromatherapy and massage can help you destress at the end of the day and
prepare your mind and body for sleep. When you get a good night’s sleep, your
body has the time to naturally repair itself, so it’s essential to head off to bed
early and get up early. This may seem impossible at first, but once you get used
to it, you will understand why it’s so important.
You will find all sorts of information and tips about Ayurveda in this book about
the types of doshas, dietary requirements for doshas, how to keep them balanced
and the effects the herbal supplements have on your body and mind. You’ll even
learn how to take care of your feet! Feet are so important yet we tend to forget
about them! There is so much you can learn with Ayurveda, and at the end of the
book you will find a list of the top twenty tips to help you bring Ayurveda into
your life.
