Our busy lives, the number of diets, and conflicting messages about what we should eat can be overwhelming. Ayurveda offers us a holistic, intuitive, easy approach to eating. Since it’s been in use for at least 5,000 years, we can rest assured that it’s safe and effective.
The only consistency in our lives as humans is change. In Ayurvedic tradition, the autumn symbolizes the pinnacle of transition in the course of the year. We witness change and transition in the landscape and in the later rise and earlier descent of the sun, and we certainly can feel it in the air and in our bodies.
