Food of Life

A gift from heaven and earth, the food we eat can nourish our spirits as well as our bodies. Eating well enhances beauty and preserves youthful vitality; it's also a sign of healthy self-respect. In Siddha Vaidyam, a meal prepared with love is a blessing to those who cook and those who eat.

Food Basics

The mainstays of your diet should be fresh fruit and cooked vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds. Add salads and certain animal foods, depending on your dosha. Locally grown organic produce in season is the most natural, as long periods in transport or storage reduce nutritional value.

Meet and dairy foods are doubly harmful by Siddha stands : the miserable lives of the animals produce low quality prana, and your action is supporting intensive rearing creates bad karma.

Followers of Siddha and Ayurveda are frequently vegetarian. Plant foods are full or prana and organic choices are best, as their chemical free growth causes no harm either to them or to the environment. These are the most physically and spiritually nourishing foods you can find.

Fresh organic fruit and vegetables are the mainstay of an Ayurveda & Siddha diet, good to eat without harming the earth they came from.
