Sattvic Food

Ayurveda and Satvik Food:

If we consume social media or media generally, we would realize that a lot of processed food, health supplements, colas, and beverages are being advertised and pushed at us. All these, so-called food brands, are owned by a few corporate that are actual culprits for creating health ailments across the world and they go unpunished by the governments as the rules are created in tandem. Look around you, our parents and grandparents have never struggled with so many health issues like diabetes, heart issues, obesity, etc as they were generally physically active and they either used to grow their own food or they were connected to farmer communities that used to supply common sense food to everyone. There was nothing called a refrigerator, no preservatives, no chemicals, no processed food, the concept of “lifestyle diseases” never existed and everything was sorted, and then we became modern, so to speak, and we invited all the troubles into our kitchens and our “lifestyle”.

At Cottage Nirvana, Mukteshwar, we believe in holistic healing and if we look back on our Indian tradition, we would realize that for thousands of years, our civilization has thrived on natural, seasonal, and local foods; this was simply based on traditional wisdom and common sense of our ancestors which in turn was simply derived from Ayurveda. Ayurveda is being practiced in India for more than 5000 years, the research and in-depth study and experiments done by our renowned rishis and sages, over a period of time brought us the best practices, and this science was introduced to the world. Our team of experts at Cottage Nirvana holistic healing understands that what we consume affects not only our physical body but also our state of mind, like our brain function, our thinking, our behavior, and even emotions.

Food, as per Ayurveda, or Sattvik food, aims to bring us in sync with mother nature and it helps in eradicating all ailments from the root cause. Sattvik food fundamentally believes that the right food, if consumed correctly can act like a medicine or a holistic healing process. Indian food like spices, herbs, plants, grains, vegetables, fruits, etc constitutes Sattvik Food. At Cottage Nirvana, we have our own farms and fruit orchards and also work closely with several natural farmer communities who work hard to bring pure organic, healthy, and chemical-free food to our breakfast tables and kitchens.

If we look around us, we will realize that for thousands of years, our grandparents and our ancestors cultivated, plucked, and bought simple organically grown natural food in the kitchen. Cooking was very basic and only seasonal food items were used that were available within a certain radius and chemicals were unheard of.

Generally speaking, food was an important element in our lives and was considered “nourishment”.

Things changed suddenly in the last 100 years or so, and artificial and processed food became fashionable and it brought all types of ailments and lifestyle issues with pesticides and harmful chemicals.

We started aping the west without understanding that our traditional Indian food, across the country, is balanced, extremely healthy, and beneficial for health, it contains healthy antioxidants, essential minerals, and vitamins that simply help in digestion and bring fast metabolism. Ask your mother and she will tell you about the medicinal and therapeutic benefits of turmeric, black pepper, Tulsi, and the consumption of herbal concoctions like Triphala, Brahmi and Chyawanprash. You don’t need any food scientists for that. After Covid 19, the world is looking at traditional Indian wisdom of Ayurveda and Sattvik food once again which brings us the miraculous merits of immunity boosting and holistic healing.

Cottage Nirvana believes in the fact that healthy and Organic Sattvik Food is extremely important for our overall health and plays an important part in or healing and prevention of health. We invite you to become part of our social initiative at Mukteshwar Himalayas and we assure you of the best wellness treatments coupled with natural and chemical-free food in your kitchen.
