Generally speaking, here are some examples of how the doshas will show themselves in children, and how you [...]

It’s very moisturizing for the skin
It encourages personal ritual. Something severely missing in our culture.

Dosha Diets (Part 3 – Kapha)
Posted in Ayurveda Info, Ayurvedic Cooking, Ayurvedic Fitness, Doshas, body care, health, tagged natural health, Ayurveda, dosha, fitness, Natural Beauty, diet on May 7, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
