Want my Ayurveda-inspired springtime ice cream rec Want my Ayurveda-inspired springtime ice cream recipe? It’s fruit-only sugar. A powerful protein and healthy-fat punch. As well as chock full of mind-tonic herbs that will keep you sharp all day. ⁠
⁠
The secret ingredient is that it replaces the dairy of ice cream, which is super heavy and mucus producing with a wonderful Kapha-reducing replacement. Cauliflower! And I don’t even like cauliflower. 😉⁠
⁠
Comment “SPRING ICE CREAM” below for the recipe! 🍨✨
Oh, you’re wondering why your kapha friend can’t go out tonight? She’s busy… watching her plants grow, rearranging her garden statues and whipping up an herbal tonic or two.

Ayurveda divides us into mind-body types called do Ayurveda divides us into mind-body types called doshas, which simply means “that which is waiting to go out of balance.” Through observing patterns over thousands of years, the Ayurvedic sages discovered that some of us are like delicate orchids, some of us are like big, beautiful bullfrogs, and some of us are fiery creatures somewhere in the middle. 🌸⁠
⁠
🌀 Vata dosha is made of air and ether, and it’s the principle of movement, change and creativity. These are the people who are imaginative, expressive, quick, sensitive and full of ideas. ⁠
⁠
→ When Vata is in balance there is inspiration, freedom and flow. And when it’s out of balance, that same movement can turn into anxiety, overwhelm or feeling ungrounded.⁠
⁠
🌿 Kapha is the combination of the earth and water elements. Heavy, cool and damp, Kapha is the principle of stability, solidity and growth, that which builds and that which stays. ⁠
⁠
→ Kapha types are strong, grounded, reliable and emotional in that watery, loving way. When they’re out of balance, they might hold on a little too much - to things, weight and old grievances that don’t want to move.⁠
⁠
🔥 Pitta is made of fire with a little bit of water, and it’s the principle of transformation, of heat, of intensity, of that which takes one thing and turns it into something else. These are the fiery ones, the ones with strong digestion, strong opinions and strong focus. ⁠
⁠
→ They are bright, sharp and driven, and when they’re in balance they’re powerful leaders and visionaries. When they’re out of balance, that fire can get a little too hot, showing up as irritability, inflammation or pushing too hard.⁠
⁠
🦋 Ladies, Level 2 is starting in just ONE WEEK. In Level 2, we’ll take the study of the doshas to the next level, including tongue and pulse assessment, to help you and your clients find greater balance, ease and radiance. The doors are closing soon, so don’t wait.⁠
⁠
🌷 Interested in learning more about the doshas right now? Comment “179” and I’ll send you my podcast where we explore the three mind-body types.
