PREFACE
A yurveda is an ancient science which has helped the human being a lot. In different ayurvedic texts, several home remedies are described with their medicinal properties.
There are several fruits such as apple, pomegranate, banana; vegetables like onion, garlic, radish, carrot, ginger; cereals; plants; honey; dairy products; water; wheat grass; spices that help to enhance our life immensely. These are regular items which we find around us, but most of us are unaware about properties of these nutritional substances. Balanced and healthy food itself is a key to good health.
The main aim of this series is to make general readers aware of these helpful healthy items, to which most of us are ignorant.
I have included those properties of each substance which are scientifically proved and are prevalent in our families through the times of our forefathers. Hopefully, you will find this series beneficial for the whole family. You can choose anyone of these books depicting your choice and follow one formula only at a time. If there is any need, you can consult an ayurvedic physician or can write to me.
