Natures Pharmacy ~ why the 6 tastes are everything

Taste is assigned a much deeper significance in Ayurveda. Each medicinal herb, spice, and root contains certain qualities that can help balance our Doshas. It is within the understanding of what ratios of the 6 tastes to use, that we can find harmony within our bodies and thus, our life.

Sweet: Heavy, cold, oily — Pacifies Vata / Pitta

Sour: Light, hot, oily — Pacifies Vata

Salty: Heavy, hot, moist — Pacifies Vata

Pungent: Light, hot, dry — Pacifies Kapha

Bitter: Light, cold, dry — Pacifies Pitta / Kapha

Astringent: Heavy, cold, dry — Pacifies Pitta / Kapha
