Core Ayurvedic nutrition concepts
- Dosha
- Your constitution: Vata, Pitta, Kapha, or a mix. It guides which foods suit you.
- Agni
- Digestive fire. Strong agni digests food well; weak agni leaves undigested residue (ama).
- Rasa
- The six tastes: sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, astringent. Each affects the doshas differently.
- Virya
- Energetic potency of a food: heating or cooling.
- Viruddha ahara
- Incompatible food combinations that strain digestion over time.
- Ritucharya
- Eating and living in step with the season.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I do an Ayurveda nutrition course in India?

Do I need to know Ayurveda before joining?

Will I become a certified Ayurvedic dietician?

For the online Masterclass, an optional Live Exam add-on ($40) earns a Professional Certification accredited by BSS. It is an educational certificate, not a licence to practise medicine or a registered dietitian credential.
How is Ayurvedic nutrition different from modern nutrition?
Modern nutrition counts nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates and vitamins. Ayurvedic nutrition looks at the person: their dosha, digestive fire (agni), and the taste, temperature, quality and season of the food. The course teaches this Ayurvedic framework.
Is there an online Ayurveda nutrition course?
Yes. The Online Ayurveda Nutrition Masterclass includes 23 videos, an eBook, and 7 live sessions via Google Meet. It is priced at $376. Use the code OAC20 for 20% off.
What is the best diet for Pitta dosha?
In general, Pitta is balanced by cooling foods with sweet, bitter and astringent tastes, such as cooked vegetables, rice, coconut and cucumber. Very hot, spicy, sour, salty and fried foods tend to aggravate it. This is general guidance; personal advice depends on your full constitution and health. Book a holistic health consultation for a plan made for you.
