Let’s explore some herbs and spices that can support us in seasonal transition, as we are moving through the spring now. In spring, nature comes to life and with it our body enters transitionary period of shading what’s stagnant and heavy. After winter kapha dosha may increase causing symptoms like lethargy, heaviness, lack of motivation, sinus problems and seasonal allergies. These can build up especially if there was a lack of exercise and the diet was heavy and full of fats. After slower winter times as we want to bring lightness, clarity and vitality, it’s worth supporting body’s natural cleansing processes and stimulate agni - digestive capacity. Ayurveda offers few herbs that can be particularly helpful in balancing kapha dosha:
🌱 Dandelion - blood purification - digestive suport - metabolism - liver function - elimination of toxins and weight loss - bitter
🌱 Turmeric - anti-inflammatory - anti-oxidant - supports digestion and metabolism- blood purification and production of new blood cells - unclog body energetic channels - bitter - pungent
🌱 Tulsi / Holy Basil - antiviral - immunomodulatory - adaptogenic - immune and respiratory pathways support - balances all three doshas - pungent - bitter
🌱 Triphala (Haritaki, Amalaki, Bibhitaki) - balancing three doshas - boosts immunity - rejuvenative - astringent - tonic - restores normal tone of the function of the body - probiotic
🌱 Stinging Nettles - anti-inflammatory - tonic - restores normal tone of the function of the body - supports blood purification and elimination of toxins (ama) - urinary and nervous system
🌱 Aloe Vera - bitter tonic for digestive system - helps purify and and cool the blood - supports the health and youthfulness of the skin and hair - boosts metabolism and reduces excess of fat tissue
Remember the less is more and simple, regular, balanced meals (containing 6 tastes) is what’s gonna support the body’s natural intelligence and bring the best results.
Hope you can flow though this season with much ease, lightness and clarity.
