How Can Hibiscus Blueberry Jello Make You Feel Great?AYURVEDIC ANALYSISCooling & SoothingThis delectably smooth dessert is perfect for firey pitta and sluggish kapha in the summer, two body types taxed by heat and humidity. Hibiscus' astringency re-tones flushed, overheated skin. Sweet taste in the summer time is quite soothing to body and mind. Pitta tempers and summer headaches will be instantly quenched by it's cool action and silken texture.A Dessert for HypertensionHave you ever heard of a dessert that eases hypertension? Yes it's possible! Hibiscus Blueberry Jello begins with a strong herbal infusion of hibiscus flowers, known to reduce blood pressure due to its diuretic action. Hibiscus also thins the blood, helping your circulatory system.Great for Weight LossThe cooling and astringent action of Hibiscus Jello suppresses excess hunger and appetite, meanwhile satisfying your sweet tooth. Its diuretic action reduces excess water weight and puffiness. Meanwhile, improved circulation naturally revitalizes your metabolism.Great for KidsAs we all know, Jello declares fun to children. For a little one who is maxed out by the heat, this sweet treat will cool and calm quite quickly. Keep some in the refrigerator- it's easy to make and will take care of both you and your child in a heated moment.A word about GelatinGelatin is a controversial ingredient. Like all ingredients, however, there is a spectrum of quality. Gelatin from grass fed animals can be a healthy protein source and improves skin and hair quality. If you are not a vegetarian, kosher gelatin from a good source doesn't have to be a politically incorrect choice. Knowing this, a whole world of jello is opened up. Hibiscus Blueberry Jello is a great place to start!WHAT IS HIBISCUS BLUEBERRY JELLO?WHY SHOULD YOU EAT AYURVEDICALLY?Eating Ayurvedically makes you feel nourished and energized.
