Ayurveda cooking course package, Rishikesh, India.

In ayurveda, there is a slogan that says, “You are what you eat”.

Food is seen not just as sustenance, but as a means of maintaining overall health.

Ayurvedic treatment explains the preventative and curative properties of many different herbs and spices – it demonstrates that when used correctly in the appropriate combinations, food can promote well-being and good health, by allowing it to be digested more easily. Ayurveda and yoga combine the science of health, harmony and inner awareness, which can be achieved with suitable food and disciplined practice.
