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.

Add 4 tablespoons of dark lignan rich flax oil for magical chemistry combining the sulfur bearing proteins of both the yoghurt and nut with the electron rich lipids (EFA3) in a hi lignan flax oil.

Note: The magic won't happen without enough dark lignans in the oil. Dark lignans give flax oil a dark brown color and opacity."
