Ayur Quotes

Anyone who believes that anything can be suited to everyone is a great fool, because medicine is practiced not on mankind in general, but on every individual in particular. ~Henri de Mondeville

When diet is wrong medicine is of no use.
When diet is correct medicine is of no need.
~Ayurvedic Proverb

The doctor of the future will give no medication, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet and in the cause and prevention of disease. ~Thomas Edison

Spice for skin

Spices for detoxifying:
Spices in cooking are great for the detoxifying process because they aid digestion, which helps overall health and is especially helpful in nourishing the skin. Turmeric is probably the best friend of the skin, because it purifies the deeper layers and also is a potent antioxidant. Cumin, fenugreek, black pepper and turmeric purify the blood and fat tissue. Black pepper and turmeric also cleanse the nutrient fluid and the sweat (the waste product of fat tissue).

Skin-Nourishing Spice Mixture
3 parts turmeric
6 parts coriander
6 parts fennel
1 part black pepper

You can sprinkle this mixture when cooking curries, dhals, or spicy rice dishes.
