Food as medicine

For a few years I've started an interest in the old Indian art of medicine called Ayurveda. Ayurveda goes back 7000 years. The believe is that everything consist of the elements: water, earth, fire, wind, air and ether. Every individual have a composition of the elements which makes us all unique. Therefore medicine must be individually chosen. In Ayurveda there are three body types, pitta, vata, kapha. One type is usually more dominant but we all have a little of all three. Due to stress, eating the wrong kinds of food, conflicts and other things imbalance in the three types can result in sickness, problems with the body and mind. By eating the right food for your body type and making small changes in the way you live you can get a healthy body and a peaceful mind. Online there are lots of Ayurveda tests to find out which body type you have and how you can balance and heal yourself. I can also recommend the book The Power of Ayurveda by Janesh Vaidya. One of my dreams is to go to India to learn more about Ayurveda and yoga. Just imagine practicing yoga in Kerala. Mean while I cook Indian and vegetarian food and try to balance my Doshas.
