How Does This Ayurvedic Recipe Improve Wellness?

CONSTITUTIONAL MEDICINE INSIGHTS

Red Wine Barley Soup with Rosemary is a hearty, rustic winter choice. Effectively stave off the chill with this winter by warming your kitchen (and your belly!). Red wine and rosemary are warm and pungent, while barley is deeply nourishing while also pacifying heavy Kapha.

Break a Little Sweat

Red wine and rosemary are aromatic and warm, bringing heat to the surface of your skin. You may notice your fingers and toes getting toasty! As a heating diaphoretic and nervine, Rosemary has a warming and relaxing effect for Kapha and Vata ailments, including Kapha type headache. Rosemary is traditionally used to improve memory. It stimulates the central nervous system, useful in low blood pressure and sluggishness. By helping your circulation, it makes tired, heavy muscles feel energetic.

In winter, a small bit of wine stimulates a stagnant liver and refreshes blood flow to the skin.

Regulate Blood Sugar

Barley is a cooling diuretic and ideal grain to relieve water-logged Kapha. Its high insoluble fiber content effectively regulates blood sugar levels. The fiber takes longer to digest. In addition, complex carbohydrates release sugars more slowly over a longer period of time, protecting you from dangerous, destabilizing blood sugar spikes. As an added bonus, the high fiber content holds your appetite longer, so you won't find yourself snacking on high calorie foods.

Lighten Up

Barley is a great grain for weight loss. Barley (and many high fiber foods) increase the release of bile from the liver and gallbladder, aiding fat metabolism. Barley is easy to digest. Its diuretic nature reduces water congestion, so that you circulation and metabolism are improved.
Barley also soothes irritated, inflamed bowels. It's fiber has been shown to repair the intestinal lining of the gut.

Medicinal Effects of Red Wine Barley Soup with Rosemary & Mushrooms

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.

“This soup is safe for children - the alcohol will be cooked down, so it won't be intoxicating but will simply add flavor."
Crystal Garland Tucson, AZ
2018-11-17
“Came out perfectly, but mine turned out pink because I used Cab and not red wine vinegar. I used the Sadaf brand pearl barley and it made a great soup (not a mush or pilaf consistency). It smelled so good, I ended up eating it for brunch. I will definitely be making this again! I think next time I will add greens for a little more "oomph" in cold weather."
