The Cooling Digestive Spices balance heat. The Calming Digestive Spices build fire.

In Ayurveda, healthy digestion depends on what is called Agni - the digestive fire that breaks down food, assimilates nutrients, and keeps the system moving. When Agni is strong, digestion is efficient and the mind is clear. When it is sluggish - from cold weather, irregular eating, stress, or a Kapha or Vata imbalance - food sits heavy, the body slows, and the mind follows.

This blend is designed to stoke that fire gently and sustainably. Brown and yellow mustard seeds stimulate digestion and bring warmth without aggression. Ceylon cinnamon slows the breakdown of carbohydrates, steadying energy and reducing post-meal heaviness. Black peppercorn and fenugreek add further digestive heat and anti-inflammatory support. Cardamom alkalizes and soothes stomach discomfort. Fennel, coriander, turmeric, and nutmeg round out a formula that is warming, grounding, and genuinely calming to a system that is out of rhythm.

Despite the warming herbs, the overall effect is calming - because what settles the body often settles the mind. Ten certified organic ingredients, developed by Martha Soffer at Surya Wellness. Use in dal, with vegetables, over rice, or anywhere a warming, digestive spice blend belongs.
