Ayurveda focuses on implementing lifestyle interventions and natural treatments, therapies, and remedies to provide balance in your physical body, mind, spirit, and the world around you. Every individual is unique, and Ayurveda defines a person’s specific constitution or prakriti. According to Ayurveda, these prakriti determine your physical, psychological, behavioral and immunological traits. Different constitutions respond to different treatments, so what works for you might not work for someone else.

Ayurveda recommends avoiding certain foods and lifestyle habits that can disrupt the balance of the doshas and lead to imbalances and disease. These include processed and packaged foods, excessive sugar, caffeine, alcohol, smoking, overeating, late nights, and excessive stress. It also suggests avoiding foods that are not suitable for one's dosha or health condition, such as heavy or oily foods for those with kapha imbalances or spicy and sour foods for those with pitta imbalances.

Ayurveda can help with a range of ailments such as digestive issues, skin problems, respiratory problems, joint pain, stress, hormonal imbalances, chronic conditions, detoxification, immune system support, and disease prevention.

According to Ayurvedic philosophy, each person’s constitution is made up of three doshas: vata, pitta and Kapha. You can think of doshas as energy types: each of these doshas is believed to dictate your emotional strengths and weaknesses, the foods your body needs and wants, the exercises that might work the best for you and more. Ayurvedic practitioners seek to help you find a balance among all three doshas. When the doshas are out of balance, illness occurs. The Ayurvedic practitioner uses nutrition, stress management, exercise and sometimes herbs to help a person regain health and balance.

Ayurvedic cooking is often presented in a complex way, with lots of food lists according to dosha plus dos and don’ts. We find that this is unnecessarily restrictive and not particularly helpful because people tend to become attached to what they can and can’t eat. It can change based on the season and the individual’s condition. Sugandha's approach is to offer a simple framework for creating sattvic meals that balance all doshas. Our approach is flexible, eliminates confusion, and allows for great creativity and satisfaction.
