AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON SOUR CRAVINGS
Sour cravings are a frequent desire to eat sour food.
Sour is one of the six fundamentals tastes in Ayurveda. In balanced quantities, the sour taste cleanses the palate, refreshes the body, and hydrates the GI tract by stimulating digestive secretions. Sour cravings can be either wholesome or unwholesome. In some cases, a sour craving can indicate that your digestive tract is dehydrated and crying out for more fluids. In that case rehydrate and drink some water. If dryness of the GI persist despite adequate hydration, you should follow your craving for sour foods. However, sour cravings can also be distorted, meaning your body desires more of the sour taste than it actually needs, often due to weakness of the liver.
Intense sour cravings usually mean Pitta dosha is aggravated. Sour taste stresses the liver and its heat can provoke intense Pitta emotions like anger, agitation, and jealousy. The sour taste is wet, as it moves fluids. Sour, live culture foods increase fermentation in the GI tract. Sour ferments are also heavy, and in excess, can create congestion and dampness in the body, aggravating Kapha dosha.
If you are experiencing intense and frequent sour cravings, bitter, cooling foods, like kale and dandelion greens, work to balance sour cravings. Avoid sour and fermented foods like yogurt, sour cream, vinegar, pickles, and miso.

AFFECTING DIGESTIONIf you have symptoms in this category, your body is sending you a warning sign.

You may have gas and bloating, for example, or acid reflux.
Ayurveda recommends paying careful, close attention to warning signs.

HOW AYURVEDA WORKS
ARE YOU WONDERING HOW AYURVEDA CAN HELP YOU?
WHY IS AYURVEDA THE RIGHT SOLUTION?
Ayurveda strengthens the body while opposing disorders. It takes a holistic,
systemic approach that looks at the whole body. Ayurveda
shows how to interpret signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to address them
using diet, lifestyle adjustments, and herbs. It shows a person how to optimize their health on a continual basis. You can't
take the doctor home with you, but you can take Ayurveda home with you.
Ayurveda is the most advanced and easy to use home system for self healing.
HOW DOES AYURVEDA WORK?
Ayurveda starts by identifying your
body type,
which identifies certain tendencies in your body to get sick (as well as identifying your strengths).
It uses body type to determine the likely root causes of your disorders.
Next, Ayurveda analyzes the nature of your disorder.
It fits all your signs and symptoms into a pattern, expressed as a combination of
biocharacteristics (gunas).
For example, you may have a heat disorder, a cold disorder, or an oily disorder, etc.
This simple categorical approach shows you how to correct systemic imbalances and strengthen your body as a whole.
On Joyful Belly, we've created an extensive categorization of food so you can easily match food to your imbalanced biocharacteristics.
By eating an optimal diet that balances your biocharacteristics, your whole body is strengthened
and the conditions that created the disorder are removed. Once the root causes of the disease
are removed, the disease lessens in strength or disappears altogether. Additional remedies -
such as herbs and lifestyle practices - focused on the specific disorder, can greatly enhance
your healing.
GET STARTED
To get started on your Ayurvedic journey, we first recommend that your find your body
type by taking our free quiz. In Ayurveda, every solution is based on your unique body type, so
by taking this quiz, you’ll get the best results.
