Spice blends can strengthen, heal and balance your digestion. In Ayurveda, herbs and spices are specifically used to prevent and maintain the digestive fire and many other processes in the body. If you want your food tailored to your digestion, you can use Dosha Spice Blends for all your food. You can use them for frying, for stews and as a flavor for sauces and chutneys. Your dosha determines overall how strong and good a digestive fire, also called Agni - you have. According to Ayurveda, optimal digestion is essential, otherwise it weakens all processes in the body and diseases occur.
I give consultations in Ayurveda where we find out, among other things, what your doha is,
you will get tips on diet, well-being, yoga, etc. Look here on the page under Ayurveda consultations.
