In our daily life, we go through several discomforts. The food we take plays a vital role in managing these discomforts. There are fundamentally six different tastes. Ayurveda classifies these six different tastes based on their effects on Tridosha. If you know which Doshas are contributing to your discomfort, you could easily decide which food you can have and what to avoid with this simple idea of taste.
