Are you ready for Spring?

Kapha season, is here!
With pollen, yellow sand and toxins floating in the air, it's a dreadful time for many.

Sneezes and runny noses, dizziness and itchy eyes, even fever at times.

Kapha accumulated in the winter come oozing out!
(Learn from experience, try changing habits next season!)

Eat light foods, stay away from heavy & oily foods like sweet potatoes, wheat, flour, sugar, sticky foods, white foods. Try new grains, and oat based granola instead of breads, eat chicken over red meats, and veggies such as carrots, spinach, asparagus, radishes, leafy greens.
Remember: bitter, astringent, pungent!

Use pepper and ginger to stimulate digestion, to provide heat, and raw honey to eliminate toxins.

Sun salutations, sports which create some sweat is good. Be active and rise early in the mornings!
