Diet Food
The Ayurveda texts use the word “pathya” to explain diet. The texts say “Pathya or wholesome is that which is not harmful to the paths (channels) of the body and is according to liking. One which is harmful to the paths and disliked is certainly not at all desirable. The entities have their effects according to quantity, time, preparation, place, body constitution, doSAs and properties.”
Thus during the period of treatment, and for some period after the treatment (and sometimes for extended durations), the physician advises the patient a very simple and easy-to-digest diet – the idea is to enable the body to remain focused on healing during this entire period. The less that is consumed and the more easier to digest, the less will be the workload on the digestive system. Nutrition during this period is primarily derived from the herbs and other natural products that are given on a daily basis.
