Ayurvedic Vegan Dhal. Recognized as one of the leading Ayurveda Schools and Ayurvedic Health Spas outside of India. Ayurvedic diet for vegans doesn't have to be hard.

Skimming through lists of Ayurvedic "superfoods" such as ghee, raw milk, and eggs left me at a loss. Luckily, with some research I discovered which vegan-friendly foods suit each constitution.
