Ayurvedic cuisine encourages the use of medicinal spices to help with the digestion and absorption of food. Cooking with these aromatic spices (traditionally used in Indian cuisine) on a regular basis will improve your overall health, as they are considered carminative herbs, rich in volatile oils that stimulate the digestive fire, promote absorption, burn toxins, increase circulation, and dispel blockages of the subtle energy channels of the body.

Ayurvedic spices also help to incorporate the six tastes (shad rasa) that Ayurveda believes to be the foundation to good digestion and absorption of food, as they prevent the formation of toxins and nourish all the tissues. (See article on Shad Rasa in our Articles section.)
