Metabolic Nature of Weight Support (9.6 oz.)

See a complete list of all biocharacteristics.

METABOLIC NATURE

Metabolic Nature

Ayurveda assesses metabolic imbalances through 20 main biocharacteristics (gunas). 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?

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.

“I love the flavor and the aroma, it is spicy in a different way, than I am used to and that is good, I have to admit some times I like to just open the jar and enjoy the aroma. I was so frustrated with conventional treatment for heartburn that I was willing to do anything. I have been interested in Ayurveda for years and finally found Joseph. Now with my new modified diet I believe Weight Away has helped in eliminating my heartburn. and the 5lb I have lost was a nice surprise."

“My question is I take prescription blood pressure medicine will this affect it in anyway? "
“The ingredients in Weight Away are designed to reduce water weight as well as boost fat metabolism. This should reduce blood pressure. However, it is important to check with your medical doctor before changing your herbs, diet or lifestyle. Thanks for asking!"

“The directions says eat directly from the jar or dissolve 1 tsp per 50 lbs of body weight. If you eat directly what is the amount?"
“Dear Lora - The amount will be the same. Thanks for asking! -John"
“Even if you have a Vata constitution, weight gain is a Kapha problem. When Vata and Kapha are out balance, generally address Kapha with diet and Vata with lifestyle. Since Weight Away primarily targets the issue of diet, circulation, and congested blood - it can be used for Vata people with excess weight. Great question."
Kat Baltimore, MD

“Do you eat it or can you mix it in hot water? If so how much? Thanks Edith "
“Dear Edith, You can eat it or mix it in water. The dosage is the same for both. -John"
Amy Jo Zelmer Baroda, MI
2013-04-02
“If I take 1tsp. for every 50lbs. of body weight I would take 5 tsp. Is that before each meal or daily? Your web site says 1tsp. before meals and but the manufacturer's instructions say 1 tsp. per 50lbs. I'm a bit confused. Thank you."
“Dear Amy, We have a suggested a more conservative dosage than the manufacturer. There is no exact 'right' answer - but you can try both and see which feels better. Or, a consultation can help resolve this issue for you. Thanks for asking!"

“It's hard to give general advice for specific situations without knowing all the details. Consider making an appointment for a one on one consultation with one of our practitioners.

“Hi Emily, as we are focused on our growing school, we are no longer shipping physical products from our website. You can find similar products at BanyanBotanicals.com with storage instructions.You're right, ghee doesn't need to be refrigerated! Generally it can last up to a year providing it is stored properly - super important not to let any moisture in there! However it's good to remember that the medicinal effects of the herbs can get stronger over time."
