How Does This Ayurvedic Herb Supplement Improve Wellness?
CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW
Toxins in the blood often accumulate on the back of the tongue. While a slight coating on the back of the tongue the size of a dime is normal, a thick or large coating is a sign of a large toxic burden. As bacteria thrive off the accumulated toxins, they give rise to a foul odor that causes bad breath. The film also covers your taste buds, ruining your palate.
Scraping your tongue not only refreshes your breath, but also your palate and taste buds, so that you can naturally crave the foods that are healthy for you. Studies show that tongue scraping is almost twice as effective as brushing your tongue for removing bacteria and foul odors. Scraping your tongue is as important as cleaning sweat and residue from the armpits or other areas of the body.
Start at the back of your tongue and gently scrape forward, pushing down mildly on the scraper and without injuring the tongue. Do this until the coating is removed, for a maximum of 10 times. SUGGESTED USEStart at the back of your tongue and gently scrape forward, pushing down mildly. or as directed by your practitioner.Biocharacteristics of Encourage a Sweat / Sweat Therapy

INCREASES
Increases These Biocharacteristics (Gunas)
Functional Ayurveda helps you assess imbalances through 20 main biocharacteristics
(gunas).
Aggravating these characteristics weakens your body and causes imbalance.
By knowing which characteristics are habitually imbalanced in your body, you will be able to identify and correct imbalances before you get sick.
Every characteristic has an opposite which balances it (i.e. hot balances cold).
You restore balance by favoring diet and lifestyle choices that increase the opposite characteristic.

The 6 Tastes
Taste is used to sense the most basic properties and effects of food.
Each taste has a specific medicinal effect on your body.
Cravings for food with certain tastes indicate your body is craving specific medicinal results from food.
Taste is experienced on the tongue and represents your body's reaction to foods.
Sweet taste causes physical satisfaction and attraction whereas bitter taste causes discomfort and aversion.
Kapha should use less sweet taste while Vata and Pitta would benefit from using more sweet taste.
One of the first signs of illness is that your taste and appetite for food changes.
The six tastes are sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent.

The Three Doshas / Body Types
According to the biocharacteristic theory of medicine,
people tend to get sick, over and over again, due to habitual causes and imbalances that are unique to the person.
Your body type summarizes this tendency, showing you the 'type' of conditions and imbalances that frequently challenge your health & wellness.
Using body type, you can also identify remedies likely to improve your strength and resiliency.
Your body type identifies physical and mental characteristics as well as your personal strengths and weaknesses.
The calculation of your body type is based on your medical history.
The 3 functional body types
(doshas),
are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).
Catabolic individuals tend to break down body mass into energy. They are easily stimulated, hyperactive, underweight and dry.
Metabolic individuals tend to burn or use energy. They tend to be rosy-cheeked, easily irritated, focused, driven, and easily inflamed.
Anabolic individuals tend to store energy as body mass. If they store too much energy, they could gain weight easily and have congestion. Anabolic people tend to be stable and grounded.
