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.

Dear Beth - A cucumber would make the recipe a bit cooler. Otherwise a nice addition!
Dear Michelle - Vata generally cleanses naturally without effort, as long as the digestion is clear. Most Vata people need very little cleansing in the spring, but need more cleansing in fall.
Dear Tracy - How about wild chickweed? It's growing everywhere this time of year. Otherwise, for store bought greens - some of the lettuces? Many other greens are too high in oxalic acid. Spinach can be a bit taxing on the liver."

Comments and reviews
Although bitters in excess can deplete Vata, Kale Lemonade balances bitterness with sweet taste. The result is that the bitters actually help Vata stimulate persistalsis and bile production. The lemons rehydrate the bowels."
