In Ayurveda we recognize 6 different tastes.
🍯🍋🧂🥬🌶️🫘
For a balanced diet we should include all 6 of them, however in different proportions for each individual.
The 6 tastes are:
🍯Sweet
🍋Sour
🧂Salty
🥬Bitter
🌶️Pungent
🫘Astringent
Ayurveda is all about balance. As an example, if one has too much of fire element which manifests in one’s body and mind as heat, sweat, anger and irritation - this person should minimize foods which are rich in fire element such as chilies, hot / spicy / sour food, meat and large amounts of salt. Instead, they would benefit from a cooling & soothing diet.
To understand the 6 tastes, we need to first understand which dosha is currently our predominant one and is causing us some imbalance. Once we understand it, we can adjust our diet by decreasing intake of certain tastes and increasing the other ones.
The 3 doshas - vata, pitta & kapha - are present in each of us and in the environment around (you can understands basic principles by studying our previous carousel-posts). 🙌
