RE: If You Had to Choose... Your Top 5 Plants to Have, in a "Desert Island Scenario"
I copied and pasted your ingredients into my notes so I can refer to it later. Thanks! I haven't gotten to the point of figuring out my ayurvedic constitution yet.
You're welcome, I'm glad to help you @indmissbl.
There are many free ayurvedic constitution quizzes online. I will recommend http://www.joyfulbelly.com/. A very comprehensive and amazing site.
Take some quizzes and find your body type, get recommendations on diet and even a personalized book tailored for you. The prices are quite reasonable and worth it. Lots of free stuff like checking herbs. There are charts with foods/herbs and each constitution type and the effects on each body type, very informative and useful. I hope you fine this useful and f you have any questions hit me up :-)
Thank you so much! I found one test on line but it was very brief`. I believe there is one in The Prime but I haven't gotten to it yet. Thanks again, will check out that site! I have begun making some changes suggested in The Prime and I already see a difference. Quite remarkable! Thanks again!!!
You're entirely welcome :-) I'm so glad you follow your intuition.
The changes move more quickly as you transition towards the ayurvedic lifestyle.
Pace yourself and feel the process, no hurry , no worry.
I attribute my good health and longevity to ayurveda.
And I hadn't even heard of it until my husband played a podcast about it for me a few days ago . He knew I would be interested in it and of course I am! I have him drinking the tea and he likes it!
Cool. What type of tea?
She calls it prime tea. It's 4-5 cups of water with 1/2 teaspoon each coriander seed, cumin seed and fennel seed. Drink it hot all day long.
Good on you @indmissbl. Here's more info from joyfulbelly:
AKA Tri Dosha Tea,
About Cumin, Coriander, Fennel Tea
Cumin, Coriander and Fennel Tea is one of Ayurveda's most famous formulas for detoxification and burning up excess water weight. The revitalizing yet mild blend gets right to the point, helping to warm up your circulation and clean your lymphatic system. Its flushing action simultaneously cleanses the urinary tract and reduces water retention.
Nicknamed CCF tea, this blend stokes metabolism and the digestive fire, restoring vitality where winter sluggishness abounds. It's mild bitterness revs up the spring detoxification process and purifies the blood. CCF tea restores tone and tightness to swollen spring tissues. It is a soothing formula that reduces agitation and inflammation. It restores a calm clarity and spaciousness to a tense mind.
For best results, place 1 tsp of CCF in a tea ball in your favorite mug. Pour boiling water over the tea and let sit for 3-4 minutes. Drink with every meal for at least two weeks.
Wow, thank you for the information. I added it to my notes. I am excited to take the steps outlined in the book. Question... what do you know about dry brushing? The author says to do it before morning shower but I take a nightly bath. Do you know if that would be a problem?
