[MISO & MUSHROOMS] Mushrooms, lotus root, Jerusalem artichoke, pecan nuts, miso

Balance your doshas through diet

Ayurveda, a preventive medicine originating in India and Sri Lanka, believes that our life energy, or "dosha," maintains the balance of our mind and body. Dosha consists of three qualities: Vata (wind), Pitta (fire), and Kapha (earth), and each person has a different balance of these.

When you feel unwell in your daily life, it is a sign that your doshas are out of balance. By achieving an optimal balance, you can maintain a healthy mind and body and lead a healthier life.

"MISO & MUSHROOMS FURIKAKE" is a combination of ingredients that help balance Vata and Pitta, improve digestion, and boost immunity.

It has the effects of promoting digestion, strengthening the immune system, and providing energy. It is particularly beneficial for those with Vata and Pitta constitutions, and if Kapha is in excess, it is advisable to limit your intake of fat. Overall, it is a furikake that helps balance the body and support good health.

Intake advice

🍃 Vata (Air element)

Mushrooms, lotus root, Jerusalem artichoke, and pecans are Vata-stabilizing, hydrating, and nourishing. The sweetness of mushrooms and the healthy fats of pecans especially help to alleviate Vata imbalances.

🌊 Pitta (fire element)

The cooling properties of mushrooms, lotus root, and Jerusalem artichoke calm Pitta. The saltiness of miso regulates Pitta heat, but excessive intake can intensify Pitta, so be careful with the amount you consume.

🔥 Kapha (Water and Earth elements)

The bitterness of Jerusalem artichoke and mushrooms will help regulate Kapha, while the sweetness of lotus root and the nutrition of pecans will give you energy. Miso also brings lightness to Kapha, but be careful not to consume too much salt.
