Diet & Nutrition Ayurvedic Approach to Wholesome Living
Overview
At Edhini, we embrace the ancient Ayurvedic wisdom that “food is medicine” and nutrition is the cornerstone of optimal health and wellbeing. Our Diet & Nutrition Department combines the time-tested principles of Ayurveda with modern nutritional science to create personalized dietary solutions that nourish your mind, body, and soul.
Unlike conventional nutrition approaches that focus solely on calories and nutrients, Ayurvedic nutrition considers your unique constitution (Prakriti), current health status (Vikriti), digestive capacity (Agni), seasonal influences, and lifestyle factors. We believe that there is no “one-size-fits-all” diet – what heals one person may not be suitable for another.
Our expert team of Ayurvedic physicians and certified nutritionists work together to develop comprehensive dietary plans that not only address your specific health concerns but also enhance your overall vitality, mental clarity, and emotional wellbeing.
Ayurvedic Proctology
In Ayurveda, food is considered one of the three pillars of life (Triopastambhas), alongside sleep and balanced lifestyle. The ancient texts state that “healthy nutrition nourishes the mind, body and soul” and emphasize that proper digestion (Agni) is more important than the quantity of food consumed.
Core Principles of Ayurvedic Nutrition:
The cornerstone of Ayurvedic nutrition is maintaining strong digestive fire. When Agni is balanced, your body efficiently converts food into energy, nutrients, and Ojas (vital essence), while eliminating waste products effectively.
Every person has a unique constitutional makeup determined by the three doshas – Vata (movement), Pitta (transformation), and Kapha (structure). Your ideal diet should balance your predominant doshas while supporting your overall health.
Ayurveda recognizes no fundamental difference between food and medicine. Both are characterized by the same five properties: Rasa (taste), Guna (qualities), Virya (potency), Vipaka (post-digestive effect), and Prabhava (special effect).
Every meal should ideally contain all six tastes – Sweet, Sour, Salty, Pungent, Bitter, and Astringent – each serving specific physiological and psychological functions while balancing the doshas.
Improper eating habits, incompatible food combinations, and weak digestion create Ama (undigested food toxins). Our dietary approach focuses on preventing Ama formation while supporting its elimination.
