CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW
Pancakes with spelt flour and spices are much easier to digest and less sticky in the GI tract. Cardamom effectively destroys mucus in the stomach and breaks up the stickiness of wheat. Vata's with gas or weak digestion should be careful to sip warm water whenever eating pancakes or bread like foods which absorb too much fluids from the GI tract. WHAT IS PISTACHIO PANCAKES WITH CARDAMOM?Experiment with sweet spices in pancakes, including cardamom, nutmeg, cinnamon.

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.

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.

Yummy! Can we create a pancake for mothers in early postpartum weeks which does not have leavening?
- Ysha Oakes, Albuquerque, NM , 06-15-10 ( Reply) You could leave the sugar out or add a small amount of stevia. Maple syrup is another option.
- Kimberly Kubicke, Asbury park, NJ , 07-21-16 ( Reply) Thank-you for this recipe, these sound delightful! Could you recommend a Gluten-free flour option, or combination of flours, for vata-pitta
- Tanya Belireau, Canmore, AB , 10-03-19 ( Reply) Coconut flour would be a nice, gluten free substitute.
