: Shodhganga: Dietetics and culinary art in ancient and medieval India

Apathya (अपथà¥à¤�) refers to “prohibited food habitâ€� (harmful diet habits of a person), as explained in the 17th century BhojanakutÅ«hala, a work dealing with the ancient Indian principles of dietetics and culinary art.—Caraka defines pathya as the one which does not digress from the right path and which is pleasing to the mind. He further adds that one should invariably have a foodstuff which is either priya (pleasing) or pathya. Pathya can be signified for all that is beneficial for a patient while apathya as all that is harmful. Aswini Patil in her research article entitled Pathyasankalpana states that pathya not only advocates the intake of beneficial food but also directs to follow certain regimen to hasten the process of recovery from the diseased state.
