aliments réfrigérés et congelés - provoquent une digestion faible et paresseuse en affaiblissant l'agni (feu digestif)

le lait caillé - provoque le vidaaha et, par conséquent, de nombreuses autres maladies

  • A ajouter

Des repas légers et des aliments faciles à digérer

Gramme vert, soupes, babeurre bouilli avec du curcuma, du gingembre et des feuilles de curry.

aliments fraîchement cuits et chauds traités avec des graines de cumin, du gingembre, du poivre noir, de l'ajwain, etc. 

Comportement :

Il est préférable d'éviter une exposition excessive à la lumière du soleil, au vent, à la pluie ou à la poussière.

Évitez de soulever des poids lourds et de pratiquer d'autres activités physiques intenses.

Maintenir une alimentation et un sommeil réguliers.
