Emotional Balance Spice Mix

Ingredients:

• 1 part ground black pepper
• 1 part ground dried ginger
• 2 parts ground coriander
• 3 parts ground cumin
• 2 parts ground turmeric
• 1 part crushed black cumin (for women only)

Directions:

Mix the spices together and store in an airtight container. Sauté small amounts in ghee to spice vegetables and grains.

Note:

Spices contain a lipid-soluble portion and a water-soluble portion, so ideally some of the mixture should be sautéed in ghee or a healthy oil such as olive oil and added to dishes, and some cooked in the liquid portions of dishes, such as by being added to soups, stews or sauces during the cooking process. Ghee helps transport the therapeutic value of spices to the different parts of the body, so ayurveda generally recommends including a ghee-spice mixture in at least one meal of the day.

Spices are like herbs: they work gently and gradually, with the benefits adding up over time and no dangerous side effects.
