Did you agree with the above statements?
Then you are in the right place!
Are you Vata, Pitta, or Kapha?
Here, you will get a 5-Day Detox Plan customized for your individual constitution. Because we are not all made the same, it is crucial to eat in ways that restore the balance of our unique bodies.
Therefore, the first step is to take an Ayurvedic body type quiz if you haven’t already to determine your dominant dosha at the moment or vikruti.
So, yes. Start by finding out first if you are Vata, Pitta, or Kapha.

VATA
A nutritive, strengthening, calming, and grounding diet is best for Vata people.

Spices to cook with in generous amounts are: asafoetida, rock salt, garlic, ginger, cumin, fennel, coriander, cardamom, cinnamon, and ajwan.
Try to choose all ingredients organic if possible.
Frequency of meals: For Vat it’s important to have frequent and regular meals. Therefore, with this detox plan you will have 3 meals a day.
The quantity? Because your body will go under a change with the different types of meals, you don’t want to also put the pressure of measuring and undereating. Just make sure you are eating at 70-75% of your capacity. For most recipes, though, I include suggested guidelines.
To drink? Vata tea with meals and throughout the day.
