Is Ayurveda vegan?

Is Ayurvedic Diet Vegetarian and Vegan

 

 

Is Ayurveda vegan?Dietary choices are a personal preference. These might be influenced by your religious, cultural or moral values. 

 

 

As the world is becoming more and more aware about the cruelty caused on the Mother Nature by mankind in various shapes and form, many people are actively taking steps in protecting the Mother Nature and it's creatures. Vegans are usually very strongly influenced by this principle and tend to use everything that is naturally sourced from plants.

 

It does not only limit to their food choices, but it also influences their lifestyle, as most of the vegans don’t even use any accessories originated from animals.  For example, a typical vegan refrains from using leather bags, or shoes or furniture and even cosmetics tested on animals etc.

 

Lot of people tend to believe that Ayurveda is vegan or Ayurveda diet is vegetarian , as it is derived from vedic sciences and there is a lot of Hindu religion influence in various Ayurvedic texts. There is a lot of emphasis on satvik diet in Ayurveda, but the truth is that Ayurveda mentions diet and Ayurvedic medicine for all types of people with various modifications based on their preference. 

 

But, wether you like to eat meat, or you are a vegetarian or you follow Veganism, Ayurveda can embrace people with any dietary choices and perfectly fit you in!

 

Although Ayurveda mentions milk and dairy products as a significant part of nourishment, but it does not mean that vegans can’t get that nourishment from plant sources.

 

How Ayurveda can help a Vegan or Vegetarian?

 

Ayurveda’s main goal is to keep a person’s body constitution or three Doshas in a balanced form. When these three doshas are working in an equilibrium, they nourish the seven dhatus (various body organs) and maintain the dhatu samya (balance of organ’s funtions), hence keep the person healthy and away from diseases. Any shift in this balance leads to an illness.

 

An Ayurvedic Practitioner or Doctor with vast knowledge of various Ayurvedic food and medicine can help a vegan and vegetarian to benefits the full effects of Ayurveda without compromising any aspects of its treatment. 

 

For instance, Ayurveda mentions six tastes in its diet and the use of all six tastes in a meal is a sign of a balanced diet. All of these tastes can be achieved by a vegan food choice:

 

  • Madhur (Sweet): Cane sugar, dates, figs, watermelon etc
  • Amla (Sour): Lemon, lime, tomatoes etc.
  • Lavan (Salt): Rock salt, celery etc.
  • Katu (Pungent): Red and green chilly, ginger etc.
  • Tikta (Bitter): Bitter melon, onion, garlic, cacao etc.
  • Kashaya (Astringent): Mint, Pomegranate, avocado etc

 

 

Most of the Ayurvedic Medicine used in Australia is derived from Plants, but in rare occasions may contain milk, milk products or honey etc. So it is very essential for a vegan to ensure that they consult with an Ayurvedic Practitioner to get all the benefits of Ayurvedic Medicine without worrying about having to take any animal products.

 

I hope after reading this article, vegans can feel relaxed that Ayurveda can help them equally and they won’t be missing out on anything, if they follow the advice from an expert Ayurvedic Practitioner.

  • 3+ years ago just before covid hit, I had sudden intolerance to a string of food predominantly gluten, cow's milk, egg and night shade vegetables. Energy was low and brain was foggy. I consulted and tried other treatments but minimal improvement. I was recommended to Drs Saini and Pooja by a friend who came out of her issues after ayurvedic treatments. Without hesitation, i consulted and started my ayurvedic journey 2+ years ago. It was the best decision I made. During those time, I had 2 sessions of panchakarma treatments. 2+ years later, I can now confidently say that I am able to incorporate gluten and cows milk products into my diet without any issue. My energy is back to normal and the other bonus for me is that unnecessary food cravings have diminished. I am very grateful and appreciated Drs Saini & Pooja's dedication and patient throughout my ayurvedic journey...

  • I am with Dr Saini from last 4+ years. I reached to him after my cancer surgery four years ago...then I was in distress and looking for right guidance and support. With Dr Sahni help, I was treated for chronic constipation, lack of sleep and energy and emotional eating recovery...which helped me achieve better health. Many thanks to him for the same and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for similar support.

  • I am writing this review so that everyone gets to know about the most capable Ayurvedic doctor of Melbourne, Dr. Saini and could reach out to him for almost any condition they might be suffering from. I was suffering from Migraine headache almost everyday but after taking the medicines prescribed by Dr. Saini, my headache almost vanished. These Ayurvedic medicines helped me in controlling my stress magnificently. I hope my review could help others who are suffering from anxiety and stress or any other chronic disorder. Please try the Ayurvedic(herbal) medicines for once as they don't have any side effects. They also have the facility of Ayurvedic massage which can definitely help the hard-working professionals out there. I hope everyone could get this miraculous treatment of Ayurveda.

  • I thoroughly recommend Ayurveda Doctor Gurnam Saini! He is fantastic. I was feeling depressed with low moods and low energy, I'd put on weight and was experiencing hair loss. I saw results with my energy and mood after only a few days of treatment and after three months I have been gradually losing weight and my hair is becoming thicker and fuller. His Ayurveda herbs and supplements definitely do the trick, and his dietary recommendations are pretty easy to implement into your lifestyle. If you're feeling like your overall health and well-being could be better I recommend giving this a try.

  • I have been struggling with IBS-C related gut issues for over 10 years, have been eating low fodmap for many years with no resolutions to my gut function. Recently I’ve been seeing Gurnam Saini (Ayurvedic Doctor) and in only one month of treatment with natural therapies I’ve seen outstanding results. Previously I was unable to digest foods properly/unable to have regular or efficient bowel movements (feeling very unwell due to this), back pain related to abdominal pain, having trouble sleeping and low energy. I’m currently one month into treatment and I never thought I’d be able to restore regular gut function, but I’m properly digesting foods, my sleep is phenomenal and I have a surge in energy, most importantly my mind feels clear and focused with no brain fog and I feel like myself again after years living with the stress of IBS. I’m going to start re-introducing foods in 6 months and have great faith in the knowledge and professionalism shown by Gurnam Saini and the team at Pure Herbal Ayurved Clinic.

  • My experience with herbal Ayurveda was positive. I found a tremendous amount of healing with this therapy after suffering from bronchitis and arthritic pain for years. The herbal massage was the best thing I ever did. I stopped my medication, the bronchitis healed and my arthritis improved remarkably. I highly recommend it and I look forward to more treatments.

  • Since September 2018, I have been in and out of hospital with consistent bowel and rectal issues. Three weeks after my last surgery this year, I literally stumbled across Pure Herbal. Dr Saini, (Ayurvedic Doctor) has been an absolute God send. I have worked closely with him since March. I have been extremely commited to the daily herbal regime, detox and treatments provided at Pure Health. At 46, I have never felt better physically, mentally and spiritually. What were constant symptoms, are now a thing of the past. I will continue this cleansing journey and with Dr Saini's expertise, I know my health will continue to improve. 🙏

  • I’ve had sinus problems my whole life, sneezing multiple times a day, always had a blocked nose and snoring quite bad. After my treatment with Dr Saini, my breathing is so much better, my nose is now unblocked and snoring has reduced dramatically. My sneezing has also reduced a lot. I recommend his treatments if you have similar issues

  • Meeting Dr, Saini has been a blessing here in Melbourne. I've always believed in holistic health and I was looking for a practitioner who could not only treat some deficiencies but bring my health up to speed. Dr, Saini is an esteemed Doctor with years of experience in holistic healing globally. I had been in poor health this year however through Pachkarma and Pure herbal Ayurveda Clinic's treatments, there has been a transformation in my overall health, energy and spirit. Highly recommended if you want to transform your health holistically and want to get out of the rut of medications.
