Kapha Taming Kitchari Spice Blend

Kapha-Taming Kitchari Spice Blend Pre-Blended · 8 oz

Kitchari is Ayurveda's most complete meal — a simple, nourishing combination of split mung dal and basmati rice that is easy to digest, deeply satisfying, and used for everything from everyday eating to cleansing. The mung dal is medicine in itself: cooling, cleansing, and one of the only proteins considered tridoshic in Ayurveda. The spices take it further.

This blend is formulated specifically to pacify Kapha — the dosha of earth, water, and structure. Kapha, when out of balance, shows up as heaviness, sluggishness, congestion, water retention, low motivation, and a body that feels stuck and difficult to move. Together, the mung dal and these spices work to bring heat, lightness, and momentum back to the system.

Ingredients:

Cumin is the digestive workhorse of this blend — it kindles agni (digestive fire) strongly and steadily, cuts through heaviness, and gets a sluggish Kapha gut moving again.
Coriander cools and calms the digestive tract while supporting the liver and clearing excess Kapha from the channels without overstimulating.
Mustard Seeds are one of Ayurveda's most powerful Kapha-pacifying spices — intensely heating, deeply penetrating, and unmatched for breaking up stagnation and congestion in the body.
Ginger brings sharp, penetrating warmth into the tissues, stimulates circulation, clears mucus, and lights the digestive fire — everything Kapha needs most. Turmeric reduces inflammation, supports the liver, clears congestion from the lymph and channels, and gives your kitchari its golden color.
Black Pepper amplifies the potency of every other spice in this blend, drives heat deep into the tissues, and is one of the strongest Kapha-reducing spices in the Ayurvedic pharmacopeia.
Cinnamon warms from the inside out, stabilizes blood sugar, and grounds scattered energy — making every sip feel like a steady, settling breath. Fenugreek is bitter, warming, and deeply scraping — it cuts through Kapha's tendency toward excess weight, water retention, and high blood sugar.
Cloves are intensely warming and antimicrobial — they clear respiratory congestion, stimulate circulation, and a small amount goes a very long way.
Hing (Asafoetida) is Ayurveda's secret weapon for digestion — pungent, powerful, and unmatched for relieving the gas and bloating that can accompany a sluggish Kapha digestive system. Himalayan Salt balances and brings all the flavors together while supporting mineral absorption.
