Ayurvedic Notes


Mint Belly Bliss moves stagnant food from the stomach and improves blood flow. More blood flow equals better digestion. Dispersing, aromatic bitters like cardamom, peppermint and bitter orange peel reduce heaviness, bloating, and burping by stimulating bowel motility (peristalsis). Trikatu is a spicy blend that stimulates the cardiovascular system. Brahmi is a gentle liver cleanse and mind tonic useful whenever mental clarity is needed.

"Mint Belly Bliss helped me feel more awake. I had my first cup as I sat down to some work assignments, and felt more focused and alert throughout. I loved the tingling of the cool menthol my tongue and how my breathe felt fresher and airways opened." - Rebecca

"I noticed, after drinking this tea, that over the next few hours that I felt very clear and strong mentally in my work."

"Mint Belly Bliss is aromatic, and refreshing. I felt it improving digestion and moving stagnant food out of my belly."

Metabolic Impact of Mint Belly Bliss Tea: Energize & Awaken

Classical Metabolic Theory uses biocharacteristics to classify the metabolic impact of food, herbs, lifestyle choices, your body, and disease.

METABOLIC IMPACT / BIOCHARACTERISTICS

Metabolic Impact / Biocharacteristics

Ayurveda assesses metabolic imbalances through 20 main biocharacteristics (vital qualtiies). Aggravating them weakens your body and causes imbalance. By knowing which biocharacteristics are habitually imbalanced in your body, you will be able to identify and correct metabolic imbalances before you get sick. Every biocharacteristic has an opposite which balances it (i.e. hot balances cold). You restore balance by favoring diet and lifestyle choices that increase the opposite biocharacteristic.

TASTES

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. Do you crave foods with any of the tastes below?

AYURVEDA BODY TYPES (DOSHAS)

The Three Doshas / Body Types

Ayurveda is a metabolic theory of medicine that explains individual health, tendencies, and disease patterns through the concept of doshas, which can be understood as your metabolic patterns and tendencies.

Each dosha reflects a distinct metabolic nature and describes strengths & weaknesses in bodily function, and how these affect energy levels, digestion, susceptibility to disease, and many other tendencies.

Your metabolic nature not only affects your physical characteristics, but also influences your mental thought patterns, confidence, and enthusiasm.

Ayurveda balances these metabolic strengths & weaknesses to support your body's vitality and prevent recurrent disease cycles. This support is a critical aid, especially in chronic or incurable disease conditions.

The 3 metabolic body types (doshas), are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).

Through dosha, Ayurveda empowers people to identify metabolic imbalances early, break repetitive patterns of disease, and cultivate habits that support long-term vitality and well-being.

Ultimately, these metabolic patterns also provide a framework for understanding yourself, including body, mind, and spiritual tendencies.
