1. Place beets in a large pot. Add enough water to just cover beets. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender (about 30 minutes). Remove, cool and peel the beets, reserving 1c beet water. The skin should come off easily after cooking.
2. Sterilize jars and lids by submerging in boiling water for at least 10 minutes. Immediately fill each jar with beets and several cloves.
3. Combine the vinegar, 1c beet water and salt in a large saucepan. Pickling salt is recommended but not required. Bring to a boil. Pour the brine over the beets, filling each jar, and seal the lids.
4. To sterilize, fill the large pot halfway with water and bring to a boil. Carefully place the jars into the pot, leaving a 2 inch space between jars. Use a rack if you have one to avoid cracking the glass jars. Add water if necessary to raise the water level one inch above the jars. Cover and bring the water to a full boil for at least ten minutes.
Note: In our kitchen we don't sterilize the pickle, but let it ferment naturally.

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.
