Dr. Rao offers Ayurveda consultations to men, women and children of all age groups for :
2 cups water
1/2 cup plain yogurt
¼ tsp cumin powder
1 pinch of salt- use normal salt, Himalaya salt or black salt
Few fresh coriander leaves
Method of preparation-
Put all ingredients into a blender and blend for 1-2 minutes. Adjust salt according to taste and dosha.
Pour in a glass, decorate with few coriander leaves and serve.
Variation-
For further Kapha balancing fresh ginger or a pinch of ginger powder can be added
Notes-
Spicy lassi or buttermilk is useful for all dosha
Yoghurt is Kapha disturbing. Diluted and churned yoghurt drink is Kapha balancing. The act of churning helps in kindling Agni- the digestive fire. This spicy lassi or buttermilk recipe can be used also in winter times.
During the meal one should sip on small amounts of a warm drink or normal water
At the end of a meal, a cup of spicy lassi or buttermilk made with diluted and churned yogurt helps in good digestion.
