Question: What foods do you eat when you’re feeling out of balance?

Ayur Veda, the holistic health science closely related to yoga, considers food a vital component of maintaining vibrant health.

So does medical herbalist and Ayurveda practitioner Todd Caldecott. Todd is a graduate of the Coastal Mountain College of Healing Arts, and a registered professional member of the American Herbalists Guild. He is the former clinical director of Wild Rose College, author of the acclaimed textbook Ayurveda: The Divine Science of Life, and editor of the new text on Nepalese ethnobotany called Ayurveda in Nepal: The Teachings of Vaidya Mana Bajra Bajracharya. Food As Medicine: The Theory and Practice of Food, is his third book project, and is scheduled to be followed by a new series on clinical herbal medicine in 2012.

Here’s what Caldecott has to say about Food as Medicine: “This year marks 15 years in clinical practice since I graduated from college, and over this time I have worked with hundreds of patients, in both Canada and the United States, as well as India and the Caribbean.  During this time, as I have worked to help my patients discover and resolve their health problems, one of the issues I most frequently encounter is just how confused people are on the subject of diet. This book is a concise encapsulation of my clinical approach to diet, supported by traditional knowledge and extensive research, and contains over 50 delicious recipes to support your health. This book is ideally suited to folks with a strong interest in diet, as well as students and allied health practitioners including yoga teachers, herbalists, naturopaths, chiropractors, nutritionists, nurses and doctors.”
