How Does This Ayurvedic Food Improve Wellness?

CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW

Berries arrive just in time for late spring, early summer. Berries are lymphatic movers that complete the spring process of cleansing your liver. They are also liver tonics to protect your liver during summer. Berries are rich in anti-oxidants that prevent aging and cancer.

Cherries are warming and stimulate metabolism. You can best experience the warming effect of cherries eating them while sitting in the hot sun. We recommend you avoid overconsuming cherries on hot days for that reason.

Fabulous Fruity Fiber

Juicy cherries are excellent for dryness-constipation. Sour cherries themselves are a gentle laxative. The high fiber content of cherries create bulky, easy stools.

Strengthen Your Blood

Cherries are an excellent way to nourish your blood. High in iron, cherries rebuild deficient anemic blood. Their sour taste and anti-oxidants balance your blood and restablize your mood. Cherries are high in beta-carotene, which is nourishing to the liver and strengthening to the eyes. However, their warming nature can aggravate pitta.

Detox

For Kapha constitutions with congested liver or lymphatic systems, berries are lymphatic movers that cleanse your liver and blood. Emotionally, cherries can help reduce frustration, and emotion associated with liver congestion, allowing you to remain mellow and calm amidst the hustle and bustle.

Moisturize Your Skin

Cherries are a skin tonic whose sweetness and sourness moisturizes your skin while restoring a healthy red glow.

Buying & Preparation

Choose tart cherries over sweet ones for the most medicinal value. Cherries must be tree-ripened. Once picked, they will not continue to ripen or get any sweeter.
