South Indian Thali has a range of dishes containing the six tastes. According to Ayurveda you should eat more of the three tastes that pacify your Dosha and less of those foods containing the other three tastes. Start your meal with the sweet taste and end with astringent to aid digestion. #Ayurveda #food #thali #southindianfood #sriganeshrestaurant #vegetarian #bangkok #thailand #chapati #appalum #lunch #taste #sweet #salty #sour #bitter #astringent #spicy

When people are diagnosed with a dis-ease it can give them a shock and cause them to search for solutions to that problem through symptomatic treatment. This could be through conventional treatment or natural means or a combination of approaches. Classical Ayurveda however looks at things a bit differently - it stops to examine and reflect upon the underlying or root cause that gives rise to such disease and directs its correction from this perspective. We wrote a short blog on this topic. https://www.ancientsbest.co.nz/blog/ #Ayurveda #Yoga #Dosha #lifestyle #holistic #correction #restoration #rejuvenation #traditional

Winter has similar qualities to the great elements earth and water which form Kapha. Still, cold, damp, slow, lethargic, heavy, and with a tendency to procrastinate. For those with an aggravated Kapha it can increase those same qualities and create a negative situation which can impede and obstruct. The coolness however, could be very supportive for the Pitta aggravated person. Knowing your constitution allows an individual to respond appropriately to each season and make adjustments accordingly. #winter #water #sky #earth #Ayurveda #Yoga #reflections #jetty #clouds #nature #calm #still #cold #quiet #lifestyle #Kapha #pitta #vikriti

Many describe Ayurveda as a system of medicine taking only a small aspect of this ancient practice into consideration. It is first and foremost a yogic practice. To experience Yoga we need a stable body and mind so as to be able to meditate and to prepare 'the field' for self realisation if and when it comes. Knowing our unique nature and our strengths and weaknesses is a critical foundation to bring us patience and acceptance, and to help us understand what tools and techniques will suit us best. #Ayurveda #Yoga #ancientsbest #meditation #selfrealisation #selfknowledge #selfawareness #truth #unique #self #sea #sky #beach #storm #marlboroughnz
