Mustard W/ Artichoke Hearts


How to Make Mustard W/ Artichoke Hearts

INGREDIENTS


SKILL LEVEL: EASY
6 whole
2 tsp
2 tsp
1 tsp
2 pinch

PREPARATION OF THIS HEALTHY RECIPE

This simple, soft recipe has a pungent kick. I usually use pickled artichokes, but you can also use canned ones or cut your own from fresh artichokes.

1. If using fresh artichokes, steam in 1/2c water, covered, until soft. Then cut artichoke hearts in half.

2. Mix mustard, oil, salt and thyme in a bowl.

3. Gently mix into artichokes and heat on medium until hot.

Serve warm.

How Does This Ayurvedic Recipe Improve Wellness?

CONSTITUTIONAL MEDICINE INSIGHTS

Liver cleansing is essential in the spring as your body naturally detoxes, and whenever the liver is congested, a typical condition of oily Kapha individuals. Artichoke hearts stimulate, flush, and cleanse the liver by stimulating bile production (cholagogue). This also makes artichokes a laxative and digestive.

Artichoke hearts, like other members of the thistle family, also protect the liver (hepatoprotectants).

They may be somewhat difficult to digest for Vatas.

Mustard and thyme sharpen the recipe, help with digestion, and dilate blood vessels to improve circulation.

Constitutional nutrition is tailored to the individual. In the kitchen, especially during your family’s formative years, you shape your family's lifelong health.

Understanding your child's constitution is key to raising resilience, instead of wiring in disease. Study constitutional medicine to discover the keys to personalized nourishment.

Rooted in the insights curated from Ayurveda and Greek medicine, constitutional medicine teaches you which foods match your body, so you and your family have true vitality, strength, and balance. See How it Works.

Medicinal Effects of Mustard W/ Artichoke Hearts

Constitutional nutrition systems use biocharacteristics to classify the metabolic nature of food, herbs, lifestyle choices, your body, and disease.

METABOLIC NATURE / BIOCHARACTERISTICS

Metabolic Nature / Biocharacteristics

Ayurveda assesses metabolic imbalances through 20 main biocharacteristics (vital qualtiies). 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?

AYURVEDA BODY TYPES (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.
