6. Ayurveda Spices and Two Soup Recipes
Ayurveda has been singing the praises of spices as "wonder-foods" for thousands of years. Spices are ingredients in many synergistic Ayurvedic herbal formulations, and an Ayurvedic expert, when giving you advice, is as likely to recommend specific spices to include in your diet as to suggest herbal supplements for you to take.

Including all six tastes—sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent (hot) and astringent—at every main meal is a basic tenet of Ayurvedic dietary wisdom, and spices are a convenient, flavourful way of accomplishing this.
