Ayurveda Cooking

अमन्त्रमक्षरं नास्ति   नास्ति मूलमनौषधम् |

– (चरक संहिता)

There is no letter/sound that is not a mantra
There is not a plant/root that is not a food/medicine |
There is not a man who is not useful.
Yet, enabling these wisely is the challenge ||
– Charaka Samhita

Nutrition plays a central role in our living. Ayurveda recognizes this in its entirety. And hence, the focus of Diet, Lifestyle, Medicine and Therapy in this more than 6000 year old health care system. Ayurveda is not only a comprehensive medical system but also a way of life.
