It’s spring here in Perth. An important time to balance Kapha dosha!
Check out our recent posts to learn how to stay balanced in spring. A Kapha balancing diet usually includes avoiding sweets and heavy foods. Cookies generally = heavy and sweet, but we wanted to provide a healthy and balanced alternative for sweet lovers
Made with Trikatu, the three spices formula (ginger, black pepper and pippali), these cookies help to keep your digestion strong. Check out our recent posts to learn more about trikatu. Available in the Lakshmi shop.
