Ginger/Ardraka Soup Recipe
Who would like to join me for dinner? 
During the last few days I have spend most of my time in the kitchen focusing on cooking AMA (digestive toxin) decreasing and digestive fire promoting meals.

If you would like to read more about Ama and check if you might have Ama, see our free downloadable information on our website.
The soup of the day is a ginger/ ardraka soup
- Ginger is very commonly used in Ayurvedic cooking and Ayurvedic medicine preparations.
- Ginger clears AMA (digestive toxins) from the plasma and blood. It warms the digestive system, increases agni (digestive fire) and the secretion of enzymes. It clears colds and alleviates cough and breathing difficulties.
- Ayurveda uses dry ginger (Nagara) and fresh ginger (Ardraka).
- The Sanskrit word arkraka means moist and sunthi means dry.
- Dry ginger is warm in nature and fresh is more heating.
- Dry ginger is light and unctuous while wet ginger is more heavy, drying and sharp in nature.
Ayurvedic actions:
- Deepana/ Pachana - improves digestive fire and digests Ama
- Agni deepana - enkindles agni
- Grahi - absorbes fluids from the intestine
- Vedanasthapana - alleviates pain
So many good reasons for you to join me for the ginger soup.
