The Dosha Diet - Ayurveda, Part 4



Eat for your Dosha: find the perfect foods that fall in line with your body and soul. Here are links below, from Body and Soul website and Ayurveda-Holistic Medicine websites, which offer suggestions of foods to eat based on your dominant dosha. View more on the dosha in an earlier Bon Pour Moi post, Part 1. 

Great site, http://www.ayurveda-holistic-medicine.com/, offers tons of info on the ayurveda lifestyle and practices.  See the info I pulled from their site below, as well as a link showing the best foods for the specific dosha.

The Importance of the Six Tastes in Ayurvedic Diet:

Ayurveda recognizes six tastes and it's quite important to have all of these 6 tastes in your diet every day. The six tastes are:

Sweet – sugar, honey, rice, pasta, milk, etc.
Sour – lemons, hard cheese, yogurt, vinegar, etc.
Salty – salt, any salty food
Pungent – chili peppers, cayenne, ginger, any hot spice
Bitter – leafy greens, turmeric, lettuce, etc.
Astringent – pomegranate, beans, lentils, etc.

Kelp Powder - Mineral Hair Treatment

View my sea kelp natural hair treatment I tried over the weekend.  It is a simple process that offers great results- shine and additional minerals that are great for the hair.  My concoction included kelp powder, aloe vera juice, and oils.  I decided to use coconut and red palm oil in my mixture, but feel free to use whatever oils work well with your hair- almond, apricot, etc.  Leave the mixture on for 2 to 4 hours.  It's easy to wash out, and the smell is minimal.  The first pic of my hair shows my texture prior to the treatment.  View the sheen and length after treatment.  This is a completely natural home remedy.  Care to learn more about kelp and how it supports hair growth, and the overall body-depending on how you use it.   Check out the link from Herb Wisdom for additional info.   http://www.herbwisdom.com/herb-kelp.html
