Ayurvedic Healing Ingredients
Some of the healing Ayurvedic ingredients in this recipe include:
Pear
Pear is high in “Air” energy, making it perfect for balancing excess Earth and Fire dosha, which are typically experienced by Pitta and Kapha types. A ripened pear, however, is sweeter and has more Earth energy, making it best for Pitta types. For Vata types, be sure to use a sweet, ripe or cooked pear in your recipe. Pears are excellent liver and blood cleansers. They help to dissolve congestion in the lungs and blood vessels. They reduce heavy menstrual cycles and can reduce acne, inflammation, and heaviness in the body.
Tahini
Tahini is a paste made from ground sesame seeds. Very common in Middle Eastern cooking, it adds a lovely savory note to any dish and is commonly used as a healthy replacement for mayonnaise and cream in recipes. It is high in “Earth” energy and promotes stability in the nervous system, bones, and especially the reproductive system. From the Western perspective, it is a good source of plant-based calcium and phytoestrogens, making it great for females with low or irregular periods and weak bones. Nearly 5000 years ago, Ayurveda stated that sesame seeds help to regularize periods and strengthen the bones, as well. They are also great for reducing anxiety and bodily dryness.
