Bowl Of Cherries With Lavender & Cayenne |
Begin with a fresh bag of seasonal cherries. Rinse and then halve the cherries down the center after removing the stems and seeds. Place cherries in a large bowl and set aside. Grind lavender into minuscule specks of light purple using a mortar and pestle. Then, mix with a small amount of cayenne pepper. Once the two flavors have met, sprinkle the spice mix over the cherries perhaps gently tossing the small fruit in an attempt to cover them equally. Wait for a couple of minutes before serving so that the cherries can fully absorb the aroma of the lavender and the heat inducing qualities of cayenne.

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.
