    CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW

    If you love the aroma of Indian curries, you'll love fenugreek. Fenugreek is a signature taste in savory curries. Fenugreek is an unusual spice, since it is a nourishing bitter. Most bitters are cold and depleting, but Fenugreek is not. Fenugreek seeds look like little brown stones and have hardly no flavor until you put them in your meals or hot water. You have to be careful using fenugreek seeds (or leaves) in your meals, too much can make the meal bitter, too little, you won't get the savory flavor. Fenugreek has been used since 4000BC and was found in the tomb of Thutankhmanen.

    Fennel has a sweetly and fragrant smell. It is pungent but smells like licorice. Fennel is often found in Indian restaurants to nibble on before and after your meal. It improves many aspects of digestion and can leave the mouth with a fresh taste.

    Together, fenugreek & fennel tea combines the pleasant sweetness and fragrance of fennel, with the savory tones of fenugreek, but a smooth, sweet taste. It is comforting and relaxes you.

    Cleanses & flushes out toxins

    Fenugreek is ideal for a spring cleanse, it removes cholesterol out of bile and helps clear out gallstones. Ideal for a Kapha person with weak bile production.

    Fenugreek & Fennel tea acts as a diuretic. It flushes out toxins from the kidneys and soothes burning sensations in the urinary tract because of its cooling qualities. Great for high Pitta.

    Drying & decreases water retention

    Improves digestion

    Fennel stimulates appetite before meals and facilitates digestion afterward. Fennel relieves gas & bloating, both fennel & fenugreek reduces burping, acid reflux and alleviates nausea and indigestion. Fennel improves the digestive agni by stimulating blood flow to the stomach. Fenugreek's demulcent quality protects the mucus lining of the stomach.

    Clears out mucus

    Fenugreek removes phlegm. Fennel relieves bronchial spasms in the lungs, because of its aromatic quality that relaxes the muscles. This can help Kapha people who struggle with asthma.

    Improves reproductive health

    Fennel's aromatic qualities help with cramping and spasms. It relaxes smooth muscles to relieve menstrual cramps. It's aromatic qualities also relaxes blood vessels and opens circulation, reducing swelling and pain in the pelvic area. Fennel is also cool and soothing.

    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.
