But be warned, this is no 'eat your own body weight in seaweed' fad. The essence of the Indian philosophy of Ayurveda is "nothing is right for everyone and everything is right for someone", so you'll be expected to put some thought into this one, and the results probably won't include 'nip down to Hakkasan for a quick bit of dim sum'.
