Abstract

Now a day the entire world is optimistically looking in the direction of the Ayurveda for its eternal principles. So we  have to prove our principles in modern era. According to Ayurvedic classics, there are six types of Rasa (Taste).¹ Balanced or proper diet as per Ayurvedic concept is not only the quantity of food but quality i.e. containing Shadrasas (six tastes) and when consumed by humans help in overall growth and development. For a virtuous and sustained healthy living, it is important to cultivate the habit of using all the six tastes in daily diet. The knowledge of their actions on the body systems can prove helpful so as to supplement the desired taste, in accordance to the body requirements. A balanced intake of all the six tastes ensures good health. If any of the Rasa is consumed excessively, it shows mild/moderate/Hazardous effects on body.² hence the detailed study of Shadrasa explaining Properties, Proper actions, and ill effects due to excessive consumption of each Rasa is required.
