Sautee asparagus, garlic and finely chopped onions in one tbsp of butter until browned. Remove and set aside. Meanwhile, thinly slice mushrooms. Spread them apart in the pan and brown in the remaining tbsp of butter. Mushrooms have a high water content. They will steam instead of brown if too close together in the pan.
Blend asapargus with blanched almonds in 1c water, salt, pepper, and thyme. Continue adding water whenever consistency becomes too thick for blending. A thicker consistency helps the almonds grind more smoothly without chunks.
Pour into pot. Add water to desired consistency and simmer for twenty minutes. Serve.

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.
