1. Chop potatoes into large hunks. For a rustic feel, leave the skins on. If you like your mashed potatoes smooth, peel the potatoes. Place potatoes in a large stock pot with enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Cook for about 30 minutes until they are soft. Strain and mash.
2. Mince garlic. In a small frying pan, melt the butter. Add almond milk and stir. Then toss in the minced garlic, salt and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.
3. Pour garlic mixture into the potatoes. Mix thoroughly. Chop chives and fold them into the mashed potatoes.
4. Serve hot, garnished with chives.

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.
