 How Does This Ayurvedic Herb Supplement Improve Wellness?CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW
     Feel clean, clear, fresh and light. Mint Belly Bliss kick starts sluggish digestion and revitalizes the stomach and circulation. It also re-awakens and brightens your mood and mind when you are sluggish after a heavy meal. Used by those who need to stay mentally alert after lunch. Contains herbs traditionally used for
  Feeling stuffed, or heaviness in the stomach
 Feeling tired after eating, food coma & brain fog
 Bad breath & burping up the taste of your last meal
 Maintaining alertness and lightness of being
 Ayurvedic NotesMint Belly Bliss moves stagnant food from the stomach and improves blood flow. More blood flow equals better digestion. Dispersing, aromatic bitters like cardamom, peppermint and bitter orange peel reduce heaviness, bloating, and burping by stimulating bowel motility (peristalsis). Trikatu is a spicy blend that stimulates the cardiovascular system. Brahmi is a gentle liver cleanse and mind tonic useful whenever mental clarity is needed.

      Increases These Biocharacteristics (Gunas)
        Functional Ayurveda helps you assess imbalances through 20 main biocharacteristics 
  (gunas) .
 Aggravating these characteristics weakens your body and causes imbalance.
 By knowing which characteristics are habitually imbalanced in your body, you will be able to identify and correct imbalances before you get sick.
 Every characteristic has an opposite which balances it (i.e. hot balances cold).
 You restore balance by favoring diet and lifestyle choices that increase the opposite characteristic.

      The 6 Tastes
        
 Taste is used to sense the most basic properties and effects of food.
 Each taste has a specific medicinal effect on your body.
 Cravings for food with certain tastes indicate your body is craving specific medicinal results from food.
 Taste is experienced on the tongue and represents your body's reaction to foods.
 Sweet taste causes physical satisfaction and attraction whereas bitter taste causes discomfort and aversion.
 Kapha should use less sweet taste while Vata and Pitta would benefit from using more sweet taste.
 One of the first signs of illness is that your taste and appetite for food changes.
 The six tastes are sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent.   
 Do you crave foods with any of the tastes below?

        The Three Doshas / Body Types
          According to the biocharacteristic theory of medicine ,
   people tend to get sick, over and over again, due to habitual causes and imbalances that are unique to the person.
   Your body type summarizes this tendency, showing you the 'type' of conditions and imbalances that frequently challenge your health & wellness.
   Using body type, you can also identify remedies likely to improve your strength and resiliency.
   Your body type identifies physical and mental characteristics as well as your personal strengths and weaknesses.
   The calculation of your body type is based on your medical history.
    The 3 functional body types 
    (doshas),
    are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).  
   Catabolic individuals tend to break down body mass into energy. They are easily stimulated,  hyperactive, underweight and dry.
   Metabolic individuals tend to burn or use energy. They tend to be rosy-cheeked, easily irritated, focused, driven, and easily inflamed.
   Anabolic individuals tend to store energy as body mass. If they store too much energy, they could gain weight easily and have congestion. Anabolic people tend to be stable and grounded.

 Can this tea be combined with 1 tsp of Brahmi powder 2xday mixed with pomegranate juice? 
		  - Tatyana Dvoskina, Philadelphia, PA , 06-18-12  (Reply )Yes, depending upon constitution. Brahmi is already listed as one of the ingredients in this tea. Generally, it takes three hours for food or medications to leave the stomach. Check with your doctor first because the time may vary depending on the drug.
