Ayurveda — Tridoshic Foods That Balance All Doshas
**If you already know about the doshas, you can skip this part…
In Ayurvedic medicine, everyone has a specific dosha that determines the kinds of foods, activities and lifestyle that is best suited for their unique combination.
The doshas are based on the elements: space, air, fire, water, and earth. and are categorized by Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. When these three doshas are in balance, mentally, spiritually, and physically, good health is experienced. When our doshas are out of balance, we begin to experience illness.
Once you’ve determined your dosha, you will have a better idea of how to care for your combination and live a healthier, more balanced life.
In previous articles, I list foods to avoid and foods to favor for Kapha, Pitta, and Vata. In this article, I list Tridoshic foods that are balancing and calming to all doshas.
