AYURVEDIC HERB SUPPLEMENTS
Table of ContentsHow Does This Ayurvedic Herb Supplement Improve Wellness?CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW
Skin Pale like the MoonKapha blood is sweet, fatty, and thick. The heart struggles to push this thick blood through the vessels. However hard the heart toils, it is unable to properly mobilize sludgy blood to the surface of the skin, which becomes perpetually pale or cool. Thick pale congested skin and a white moonlike face are primary evidence of Kapha blocking circulation, along with an aversion to cold, damp weather. Meanwhile, the surge of circulation closer to the heart overheats the core and overstimulates digestion, leading to hunger and weight gain. A person may feel simultaneously cool in the skin and inability to release excess central heat. An extreme version of this condition would lead to congestive heart failure. Radiant & Glowing Skin Tonic addresses these issues at the core by circulating excess heat from the core to the extremities. See also:

Metabolic Nature of Radiant & Glowing Skin TonicMETABOLIC NATUREMetabolic 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.
HOT ABOUT HOT BIOCHARACTERISTICHot is identified by increased body temperature, metabolism, or inflammation.LIGHT ABOUT LIGHT BIOCHARACTERISTICLightness is identified by reduced weight.LIQUEFIED ABOUT LIQUEFIED BIOCHARACTERISTICSubstances that thin fluids (lower viscosity of blood plasma). These may include blood thinners or mucolytic herbs.MOBILE ABOUT MOBILE BIOCHARACTERISTICMobile refers to anything that stimulates the nervous system, muscles, or activity.TASTESThe 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?
PUNGENT ABOUT PUNGENT BIOCHARACTERISTICPungency is characterized by irritation, or sharp, spicy foods that irritate the mouth such as black pepper.DOSHASThe 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.
