There exists additional information which is not part of established food guidelines we are used to seeing on a day to day basis when we purchase items pre packaged.  Some considerations of things which make a difference to the value of what we are eating include when we eat it, what season it is, where it is grown, harvested or processed, what other foods may interact with another.  

Nārayana Nāḍī and Ayurvedic energetic assessment

By Monica Groover

In over a decade and a half of practice, nothing impresses people who have heard about Ayurveda like the mystic of the famous nāḍī. An Ayurveda practitioner touches your wrist and magically tells you amazing things about you-almost like a psychic reading.

This is not like a pulse assessment--rather it is reading the prana, the qi that flows in the body energetically, and just like reading tea leaves, an experienced practitioner can tell us what will come and has happened.

In Ayurveda, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is sometimes referred to as amavata. (just a note that not all RA are amavata). Amavata is caused by  ama a sanskrit name for sticky molecular waste food particle builtup over time giving rise to toxins and impurities. These impurities in this condition has now settled into the walls of the tissues, and especially traveled to the joints and made a new home there.

Pitta people are made up of fire and water. Typically this type of person has fair, soft, and warm skin, freckles, tall, thin, may have red hair, and high foreheads. When balanced, their skin is beautiful, slightly rosy and glowing. Imbalanced Pitta skin may have acne, rashes, inflammation, liver spots, rosacea, moles, or pigment disorders. Also they might have heartburn and acid reflux. Pitta's skin does not tolerate the sun very well due to their fire element. They are the most likely to have sun damage over vata and kapha skin.

Vata is composed of space and air. Their skin type is usually dry, thin, prone to wrinkles, and cool to the touch. Imbalanced vata skin looks tired, stressed, dry, might have blackheads, prone to premature aging and wrinkles. Imbalances in their digestion displays eczema, psoriasis, or even a skin fungus. Mental stress, worry, fear, anxiety, and lack of sleep can have a huge impact on a vata’s skin leaving it dull and tired looking. Vatas are more likely to have dryness and show signs of aging. They appear older than pittas and kaphas.
