The equilibrium between man and nature leads to perfect health. The five elements in nature are present in every human being and govern every life on Earth. These five elements are in fact present in the naturally available food that we eat. Therefore any imbalance in the relation between man and nature is bought in equilibrium by the art of maintaining a proper diet.
What’s wrong with what we eat?
You eat fresh fruits and vegetables, and buy whole-grain, herbal and high fiber products. You try to drink eight glasses of water a day and do a moderate amount of exercise. You feel you are doing everything you can to give your body it needs. But still you feel run down and get sick too often.
Fruits, vegetables and grains are being grown in nutritionally sapped soil that has been stripped of its crucial minerals by chemically enhanced fertilizers. Add a thick blanket of pesticide, an assembly line of food processing operations, a heavy dose of preservatives and that is what we eat. Apart from this we deep fry, boil them furiously on the stove which takes out the remaining nutrients also. In the end the food you eat are hurting you more than helping you.
Perfect diet
Herbal food and fruit juices are the best form of natural food. All this is based on the basic principles of ayurveda and these principles form the foundation of the cuisine, which helps one to choose a constitution based diet, which will energize and revitalize your body and create a feeling of well being within one self.
Many people are now coming around to the fact that certain foods can help prevent and even treat number of illnesses. The interest in natural medicine and herbal diet has grown over the years with even some medical practitioners acknowledging its potential benefits. Pharmaceutical companies are finding their way into rain forests to study native plants for their potential health benefits.
Ancient Herbal Formulas
The history of using food herbs for better health, longevity and natural skin care began in the mists of ancient China. The Chinese strove to harmonize their way of living and eating with the way of nature.
The philosophy of regeneration was founded on the research into feeding the body nutritious food combinations and finding that the body would regenerate itself – replacing aging cells with healthier cells. Foundational to their search for health, the Chinese tested each herb and then the herbal formulas for 100 years to see its effects over several generations. And we though that the FDA had a slow approval process. The organic Chinese herbal food formulas that were passed down for this time are still valued for their health and regeneration properties but they are not easily available in Europe or North America.
Herbal supplements
There are herbal supplements, specially formulated mixtures that keep the systems in your body functioning in prime conditions while building up a wall of defense against bacteria and viruses. They can also ease your body’s reaction to certain conditions, a key benefit that is particularly useful to people with asthma and allergies. Always consult your doctor before beginning any type of alternative treatment as some supplements can interfere with other medications you may be taking.
