CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW
Few fresh ingredients pack the potency of raw garlic. Just a dollop of this creamy toum is enough to enliven the senses, stimulate the blood and encourage digestion. As it hits your tongue, garlic can immediately be felt filling the airways. Notice how this delicious whipped garlic seems to both refresh the mind and relax the body.
As it moves deeper into the body, it is just as potent as its flavor suggests. Penetrating deep into smooth muscle, garlic dilates vessels and stimulates the heart - perfect to thoroughly eliminate circulatory stagnation in Kaphas. These opening, penetrating qualities also relax the muscles, dispelling tension.
Lemon stimulates a gush of saliva and exocrine glands throughout the body (sialogogue). It ensures smooth digestion and elimination.
Enjoy with grilled meats/fish, falafel, crunchy veggies, or sandwiches. Here, its sharp flavor cuts through the sweetness of these heavier foods, preventing the stomach from being bogged down, a quality Kapha bodies will enjoy. Also works to jazz up boiled potatoes or to replace garlic in pasta sauces.
Too strong for your taste? Leave in fridge for few days. And, put peeled garlic in ice water for 30 mins or so before using.

Functional Ayurveda helps you assess imbalances through 20 main biocharacteristics
(gunas).
Aggravating these characteristics weakens your body and causes imbalance.
By knowing which characteristics are habitually imbalanced in your body, you will be able to identify and correct imbalances before you get sick.
Every characteristic has an opposite which balances it (i.e. hot balances cold).
You restore balance by favoring diet and lifestyle choices that increase the opposite characteristic.

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.

The Three Doshas / Body Types
According to the biocharacteristic theory of medicine,
people tend to get sick, over and over again, due to habitual causes and imbalances that are unique to the person.
Your body type summarizes this tendency, showing you the 'type' of conditions and imbalances that frequently challenge your health & wellness.
Using body type, you can also identify remedies likely to improve your strength and resiliency.
Your body type identifies physical and mental characteristics as well as your personal strengths and weaknesses.
The calculation of your body type is based on your medical history.
The 3 functional body types
(doshas),
are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).
Catabolic individuals tend to break down body mass into energy. They are easily stimulated, hyperactive, underweight and dry.
Metabolic individuals tend to burn or use energy. They tend to be rosy-cheeked, easily irritated, focused, driven, and easily inflamed.
Anabolic individuals tend to store energy as body mass. If they store too much energy, they could gain weight easily and have congestion. Anabolic people tend to be stable and grounded.
