📖About Ayurvedic Diet Counselling
Ayurvedic diet counselling provides personalised dietary guidance based on an individual's dosha constitution, digestive strength, and current health imbalances, following the Ayurvedic principle that food is medicine when matched correctly to one's constitution. The counsellor identifies foods and eating patterns that support digestive fire, or Agni, while avoiding those that aggravate the individual's specific dosha imbalance. Recommendations often include specific food combinations, meal timing, and preparation methods believed to enhance digestion and nutrient absorption. This approach is used both for managing specific health conditions and as a preventive practice to maintain overall balance and wellbeing.
