Kitchari is a deeply nourishing dish that is a staple in Ayurveda (the sister science to yoga). Traditionally used as a powerful yet gentle cleansing food, it’s typically made with rice, mung beans, vegetables and a combination of Ayurvedic spices. While this may not sound like your typical cleanse we hear about in our modern diet culture, eating kitchari is a gentle way to cleanse the body and remove any build up of toxins. And it’s a great dish to incorporate as we transition to the Spring.
Ultimately, our bodies do a great job of cleansing itself, the body is designed to heal itself! But sometimes our digestion system needs a rest. In Ayurveda, consuming a monodiet of kitchari (known as Panchakarma) is used as a way to reset the system, give the body time to recalibrate, while also keeping the mind steady and clear.
Join Lizzie via zoom for a kitchari making workshop where we’ll be making this nourishing and grounding dish together. While the kitchari cooks, we’ll have a short grounding practice and discuss some other wellness tips for the Spring transition.
