Ayurvedic recipes: these are our favorite recipes
Ayurveda originates from India and translates to "The Knowledge" (veda) "of Long Life" (ayur). It is the oldest holistic healing art of humanity and not only massages, special detoxification treatments, and yoga belong to the Ayurvedic lifestyle, but also nutrition. All elements together are intended to keep various body functions, such as metabolism, digestion, and tissues in balance, so that illnesses cannot arise. Eating habits can be adapted depending on the type. Ayurveda differentiates between the three doshas: Kapha, Pitta, and Vata. Each person corresponds, depending on the manifestation of various characteristics, to one of these three doshas.
