Abstract

The body and diseases are the results of foods that we consume and hence is the saying “You are what
you eat”. Health and disease start from proper and improper food. It is said that with mere appropriate
diet, a person can be free from diseases. Thus, no medicine is equivalent to food. Kritanna varga is a
group of processed food articles amongst twelve divisions of food substances which constitutes various
food preparations such as Manda, Peya, Vilepi, Yavagu, Yusha, Rotika, Raga, Shadava etc. Yusha
(soup) being one among them is widely discussed in every literatures of Ayurveda and in almost
diseases as therapeutic diet. Yusha is prepared by taking one part of grain other than paddy preferably
legumes and cooked in eighteen parts of water. Yusha as a diet suggested for both healthy and
diseased. But it seen that it is of less in use. Here is a try to throw light on Yusha and its wide use that
can be taken into practicality.
