How Does This Ayurvedic Recipe Improve Wellness?
CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW
Lassis digest easier than yogurt. Blending breaks up the gel and spices combat mucous. Lemon helps reduce the astringency of churned yogurt which can be slightly constipative.
The amount of water in a lassi varies with strength of digestion. Those with weaker digestion can use non fat yogurt with a 1:3 ratio of yogurt to water. For stronger digestions 3:1 ratio of yogurt to water.
Lemons are okay to mix with yogurt because it is already soured. Mixing lemons with milk, other the hand, curdles in the stomach!
Question: Isn't dairy contrindicated during a meal?
Answer: There is some disagreement in the community about the use of lassis after a meal. It is our experience that lassis, because of the spices and churning of the yogurt, help stimulate agni.
WHAT IS YOGURT & CUMIN DIGESTIVE LASSI?
A lassi is simply yogurt and water usually blended with some spices. Warm cumin mixes with sour and salt for an excellent after dinner digestive. This lassi is specific for Vata dosha. Search on yogurt for Pitta and Kapha pacifying lassis.

INCREASES
Increases These Biocharacteristics (Gunas)
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.
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.
