Heal your body at city’s first Ayurverdic cafe

If chicken soup is not enough to heal your mind and body, now comes Divya Kitchen at 25 First Ave.

It’s the city’s first, self-proclaimed Ayurverdic cafe, says chef-author Divya Alter, who has been running Ayurvedic cooking classes and meal delivery in the East Village for the past 10 years.

Her cookbook, “What to Eat for How You Feel,” published by Rizzoli, will be out in April.

The 1,400-square-foot eatery seats 50 and offers globally inspired, nourishing dishes from Italy, the Mediterranean, India and Asia.

Ayurveda is based on the combination of the Sanskrit words vata (ether), pitta (fire) and kapha (water) that makes up the human body and balances its life forces.
