Ayurvedic Nutrition

What you eat determines who you are.
Individually tailored to your constitution.
What is Ayurvedic nutrition?

Food as medicine – for more than 5000 years.

The Ayurvedic approach to nutrition provides a framework that is individualised during nutritional consultation and complemented with practical recommendations – tailored to your personal living situation.

In Ayurveda, the world consists of five elements: ether, air, fire, water and earth. In our body they appear as three main energy patterns – the doshas Vata, Pitta and Kapha. They control all processes in the body, from physiological functions to thoughts and emotions.

Illness arises from an imbalance of the doshas. Ayurvedic nutrition creates balance between all three – and therefore sustainable health.

What nutritional consultation achieves
01

Constitution determination

Together we determine your personal Prakriti – the unique dosha combination that defines you and determines your nutrition.

02

Individual nutritional recommendation

Based on your constitution, you will receive a list of recommended foods as well as practical tips for your everyday life – adapted to where and how you live.

03

Sustainable balance

Once you know your dosha combination, you can keep your constitution in balance in a simple way – through suitable nutrition, daily and permanently.

“Do you know your personal dosha? Proper nutrition is not a question of trends – but a question of your constitution."

The three doshas

Vata. Pitta. Kapha.

Since we are born with all three doshas, they exist in a different ratio in every person. This unique combination makes us who we are. Typically, one dosha or one dosha combination stands out dominantly.

Wind & Ether

Vata

The movement system

Cold, dry, light and subtle. Vata controls all movements in the body, regulates the nervous system and ensures elimination.

Fire & Water

Pitta

The action system

Hot, moist and burning. Pitta controls digestion, metabolism and temperature balance – the power of action and transformation.

Water & Earth

Kapha

The structure

Cold, moist and heavy. Kapha provides mind and body with stability, structure and moisture – the protective, nourishing force.

Some people are pure Vata, Pitta or Kapha types, while others are combination types. I would be happy to advise you and together we will find out which dosha type is within you.
