Ayurvedic Nutrition

Your Ayurvedic Nutrition

We live in a hectic world where food is no longer used to nourish, but merely to satisfy hunger. A world where food is heavily processed and its original form is barely recognizable. And where products from distant countries are more popular than regional foods. Ayurvedic nutrition is the counterpart to our Western perspective. Slowing down and conscious enjoyment, unprocessed foods and local products, perceiving the feeling of satiety again, and differentiating between emotional and physical hunger. Your Ayurvedic nutrition: as unique and individual as you are. The nutrition plan is tailored to you. To your daily routine, your state of health, and your phase of life. Adapted to your goals: Do you want to renew body tissue, alleviate illness and pain, or simply be happy? Nutrition is the foundation for the health of body, mind, and soul. Enjoy it.

Our Head Chef

Leonard Müller

With European Ayurveda cuisine, we have transferred the principles of Indian healing arts to the tastes of our latitudes and created our own culinary brand. At the European Ayurveda Resort Sonnhof, we use fresh organic food from the region. The offerings of our European Ayurveda cuisine are meat-free, so that your body is actively relieved during food intake. We were honored as a Vegan Welcome Hotel by the global Vegan Welcome cooperation for our healthy and ethically responsible lifestyle. For our guests, this means that you are offered a vegan option with every meal.

We are very pleased that our concept of European Ayurveda is receiving so much recognition both regionally and internationally.

I feel really good. Because my body can optimally utilize all nutrients and digest the food well. I pay attention to preparation that brings my three doshas into balance.

Time

I feel really good. Because I adapt my nutrition to the season, the time of day, and my phase of life. I make sure that I can enjoy my food without stress.

Quantity

I feel really good. Because I listen to my natural feeling of satiety and can distinguish between emotional and physical hunger. I make sure that I do not overeat.

I feel really good. Because I eat a balanced diet and it simply tastes good. I make sure that all six tastes are present in my food.

The Cuisine at the Resort

Tridosha – suitable for everyone

Regional, conscious, wholesome. Nutrition at the European Ayurveda Resort Sonnhof is characterized by appreciation and mindfulness. The philosophy of Indian healing adapted to regional products and tailored to the taste buds of the Western world. Taste the difference: fresh and organic food from the family’s own farm in delicious Tridosha dishes. Enjoy a generous breakfast buffet in the morning that combines local and Ayurvedic specialties. At lunch, you can help yourself to the Pitta buffet: warming soups, colorful salads, nourishing appetizers, and delicious desserts. In the afternoon, let yourself be pampered with a Vata snack including a tea ceremony and healthy delicacies. In the evening, you can choose between Ayurvedic, fish, or vegan. A wonderful symbiosis of fresh vegetables, strengthening herbs, and delicious meals. If you are currently enjoying a cure with us, your Ayurveda specialist will explain exactly what you can enjoy at which meal. For moments of pure indulgence that have a lasting effect.

Your Dosha-Appropriate Nutrition

Your Vata Nutrition

Through this diet, you can soothe your Vata. You should primarily choose foods that are the opposite of Vata to balance the qualities. Pay attention to regular and warm meals that are primarily liquid, oily, and heavy. Feel how your Agni (digestive fire) is strengthened and your sensory organs are fortified.

Your Pitta Nutrition

Enjoy a Pitta diet if you want to soothe or reduce this dosha. Pitta primarily has the qualities of hot, liquid, sour, pungent, and light. So make sure that your diet forms the opposite. Enjoy four small meals per day and feel free to reach for cool foods and raw vegetables. Feel how your body deacidifies and your blood is purified.

Your Kapha Nutrition

Kapha appears cool, heavy, stable, and oily. Enjoy a Kapha diet if you want to soothe this dosha. You are welcome to fast regularly or even skip meals. Pay attention above all to warm and light dishes in small portions and with a high proportion of vegetables. Feel how blockages dissolve and your metabolism is stimulated.

Your Tridosha Nutrition

Your doshas are balanced in equal parts. Or perhaps you have a family that combines Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Tridosha nutrition encompasses the entire Ayurvedic diet, and you may enjoy it as you please. If you like, you can orient yourself seasonally to the individual doshas: Vata in autumn and winter, Kapha in spring, and Pitta in summer. Pay attention to high-quality food and eat a balanced diet. Feel how you stay in balance and your body moves serenely through the seasons.
