The Asthma Cure by Tarika Ahuja
The Asthma Cure is a comprehensive guide to improving immunity, managing lifestyle diseases, and optimizing lung and gut health.
Tarika Ahuja in conversation with Sanjana Raj highlighted the benefits of natural healing viz a viz the use of conventional medicines. Many a times the medicines and bronchodilators prescribed to asthmatics to temporarily relieve the symptoms actually weaken the lungs over a period of time. Using authentic remedies and principles from Ayurveda and macrobiotics the immunity levels can be improved.
Macro means ‘large’ and biotics means ‘life’; thus, macrobiotics connote longer life. Yin (expansive) and Yang (contractive) are the two opposing energies which work in our body and help in digestion of food. The stomach, a yang organ, ignites the digestive flames, while the spleen, a yin organ, orchestrates the transformative and nourishing dance of nutrients.
Yin and Yang are inherent in any food we take. Macrobiotics extends the principles of the Yin and the Yang to the realm of food and cooking.
While macrobiotics understands the energy of foods from a lens of yin (expansive) and yang (contractive) properties, the Ayurvedic approach to foods is based on the energetic properties of tastes such as sweet taste can be heavy, descending, soothing, and nourishing; sour taste is stimulating; salt taste is moistening.
Eat a balanced daily diet of whole grains and vegetables that are grown locally and are in season and other plant based whole foods.
For a heathy lifestyle, maintain positive attitude, healthy relationships and social support, and live meaningful life in natural environment.
The discussion was informative and exhaustive, it brought out a unique and refreshing view on balancing nutrition to our plate. Not from the perspective of calories and vitamins but balanced eating for different seasons, for different body types, balancing the feminine and masculine, and the expansive force of yin and contractive force for yang for good health and longevity.
It was a practical take on the cumulative impact of how our daily foods transform our blood chemistry and hence the health of our cells and tissues.
Her book THE ASTHMA CURE has over 100 recipes and different ways to build an understanding and awareness about our body, mind and nutrition. While the book’s cover says it’s for asthma, it actually serves the purpose of sharing holistic healing principles for most modern-day lifestyle diseases. It is indeed a book for immunity, gut health, digestive health, healthy lifestyle and asthma – all in one.
