“Healing Spices” (Aggarwal/Yost) – A well read book in both stores. Well researched and recipes included (its not an Ayurveda book it includes many cultures).

Organic Spices/Herbs/Flowers Used In Darlin’ Dal’s Medicinal Creations

Using Ayurveda spices when cooking is a major part of  stimulating your “inner pharmacy.” Chosen spices that can kindle your digestive fire (agni) and can assist in harmonious equilibrium between the internal environment of the body and the external environment of the universe. Yes… we are all connected. “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”

Cooking with these spices-such as turmeric, cumin and coriander-adds complex flavours, promotes nutrient absorption and prevents the build up of toxins (ama) in your system.

In Ayurveda, homeostasis of the five elements of nature-known as Panchamahabhuta (Earth: Water: Fire: Air: Space) is the core definition of health. Maintained through dynamic bio-energies called Doshas (Pitta, Vata, Kapha).

A core Ayurveda principle is including all six tastes in your meals (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent and astringent). Spices naturally provide bitter, pungent and astringent notes, which help regulate your appetite and leave you feeling truly satisfied.

Do your own research into any of the below and see why Darlin’ Dals are called medicinal magic.

“Been a staple for me during my first pregnancy & postpartum. My 18month old now also absolutely loves it. A staple again this second pregnancy. So nourishing for my pregnancy and also because I’m still breastfeeding my toddler as well, my body craves this dal – it’s absolutely amazing” – Carley Probert
