We all know that for healthy living we require a balanced of protein, carbohydrates and fats, minerals ,vitamines etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tibetan medical healthcare \u00a0and\u00a0 Ayurveda has considered all aspects of\u00a0 the diet in detail. The\u00a0Tibetan Medicine and the Ayurvedic diet<\/strong>\u00a0is one that not only nourishes the body, but also restores balance of the\u00a0 ‘Tridoshas’ which is very much essential for maintaining Health. Depending on our humor\/dosha, or constitutional type, some foods can be beneficial, and others should be avoided. These same foods may have the opposite effect on another humor\/dosha. The science of Tibetan Medicine and\u00a0 Ayurveda teaches that right diet is the foundation of healing. For maximum health and vitality, the ideal diet is one that balances our doshas.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are six taste : sweet, sour, salty, hot ,bitter and astringent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Below , is a recipe which is beneficial for the balance of all three humors of rLung Tripa and Badkam, or according to Ayurveda, called Vata , Pitta and Khapha.\u00a0\u00a0 We enjoyed this recipe on my last workshop of Introduction to Tibetan Medicine, and it was delicious. Try it for yourself !<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is a complete meal when served with rice and includes all of the essential Ayuvedic and Tibetan tastes. In the tradition coconut is considered a sweet taste that calms Vata and cools down Pitta. It also is known to give strength, building Pegan \/\u00a0 Kapha properties. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
