Vata-Pacifying 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 digestive support 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 Vata — the dosha of movement, air, and space. Vata, when out of balance, shows up as anxiety, bloating, constipation, dry skin, restlessness, and a body that feels ungrounded and scattered. Together, the mung dal and these spices work to bring warmth, stability, and calm back to the system.
Ingredients::
Fennel calms and cools the digestive tract, easing bloating and gas — the classic signs of Vata digestive distress.
Coriander cools and soothes the digestive tract as well, clearing heat and inflammation from the gut without adding any dryness — the last thing Vata needs.
Cumin kindles agni (digestive fire) gently and steadily, without overheating.
Ginger brings warmth deep into the tissues, stimulates circulation, and soothes the gut lining.
Turmeric reduces inflammation, supports the liver, and gives your kitchari its golden color.
Cinnamon warms from the inside out, stabilizes blood sugar, and grounds scattered energy.
Cloves are deeply warming and antimicrobial — a small amount goes a long way.
Black Pepper activates the absorption of every other spice in this blend, making the whole greater than the sum of its parts.
Hing (Asafoetida) is Ayurveda's secret weapon for Vata digestion — pungent, powerful, and unmatched for relieving gas and bloating. Himalayan Salt balances and brings all the flavors together while supporting mineral absorption.
Benefits:
Kindles digestive fire without aggravating Pitta
Relieves bloating, gas, and Vata digestive discomfort
Warms and grounds the body and nervous system
Supports nutrient absorption and healthy tissue building
Nourishing during fall and winter, times of stress, or periods of depletion
How to use: Heat 1 tablespoon of ghee or coconut oil in a heavy pot. Add 1–2 teaspoons of the spice blend and stir for 30–60 seconds until fragrant. Add your rinsed mung dal and rice, stir to coat, then add water and cook until soft. Find our full Kitchari recipe here.

Warm. Grounding. Exactly what Vata needs.
Cumin, coriander, and fennel — three simple spices, combined in equal parts, creating something far greater than the sum of them. This blend has been used for thousands of years as a daily digestive tonic, and once you start drinking it regularly, you'll understand why it has never gone out of style.
CCF tea works gently and cumulatively. It kindles agni — the digestive fire — without overheating the system. It flushes excess water weight and bloat. It clears the channels (srotas) through which nutrients flow and waste is eliminated. It soothes the gut lining, eases cramping, and calms the kind of digestive discomfort that seems to have no obvious cause. And because it's tri-doshic — balancing for Vata, Pitta, and Kapha — it's one of the rare things in Ayurveda that works for almost everyone.
This is loose spice, not tea bag dust. Whole seeds, freshly blended, steeped the traditional way.
Benefits:
Kindles digestive fire (agni) and improves nutrient absorption
Reduces bloating, gas, and digestive cramping
Supports gentle, daily detoxification through the urinary and digestive tracts
Clears ama (accumulated toxins) over time
Balancing for all three doshas — Vata, Pitta, and Kapha
Naturally caffeine free
How to brew: Bring 3–4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon each of cumin, coriander, and fennel seeds (or 1 tablespoon of the blend). Reduce heat and simmer for 5–10 minutes. Strain and sip warm throughout the day. For deeper digestive support, begin sipping 20 minutes before meals.
