“If diets are wrong, medicines are of no use and if diets are right ,medicines are of no need.”
Ayurveda believes that digestive disorders occur due to altered lifestyle and faulty food habits. Inappropriate food includes inadequate food and even hunger, undue amounts of both foods and water, wrong food amalgamation which result in poor appetite, indigestion, diarrhea and other digestive disorders. Ayurveda manages the digestive disorders by managing the digestive fire(jatharagni) and balancing the doshas with the help of food, lifestyle and medicines.
The seven diet modes for food intake are as follows:
- Swabhava or the basic nature :- for ex – Moong dal that is light by nature and is easily digestible, whereas the urad dal ,milk and its products are heavy and difficult for digestion.
- Samyoga or the right combination :- for ex – Honey and warm water or fish and milk when taken together can be highly toxic.
- Sanskara or the expertise :- some qualities can be imbibed in the food, for ex – churning with perfumed or herb decoctions, fresh juices etc
- Maatra or the correct quantity :- certain food items should be taken separately in the right quantity.
- Desha or the place of production :- there are separate indications for the place pf production of raw materials and the place of consumption(according to the climatic conditions)
