Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Ayurveda is a vast and ancient medical science. Unlike other medical sciences, instead of focusing on treatment of any particular disease, Ayurveda focuses more on the healthy living and wellbeing of the patient. For healthy living, Ayurveda emphasizes on consuming right kind of diet which is healthy and nutritious. According to Ayurveda, there are positive and negative attributes of diet. Since, Ayurveda deals with a holistic approach to healing; it covers the diet factor in depth. In Ayurveda, food is considered not only as mixture of the basic ingredients like proteins, vitamins, fats and carbohydrates, but it directs to avoid those food articles(gramya ahara) which are having opposite attributes to be used at same time as per Ayurveda. This sort of food may induce the accumulation of toxins in the body which may end up in chronic and grave diseases like cancer, immune disorders. Hence in this article we will discuss about the detail description of gramya ahara, compatible and incompatible food and its consequences in the diseases.
