The digestive system has often been compared to an inner fire, or a stove of sorts where our food is broken down to its essence. By intentionally stoking this digestive fire we can ensure optimum assimilation of nutrients to get the most benefit from our food.
    
The quality of this digestive fire is impacted by many factors including our emotional state, our physical activity and the foods that we eat. We can impact it by ingesting bitter herbs, pungent spices or sour foods in the right amounts with our meals. These all can stimulate digestive secretions and thereby provide more of the internal chemistry needed to break foods down fully.  Oftentimes, digestive symptoms such as heartburn may also reduce as a result.
 
In this class we will learn about these basic categories of herbs and foods, and how we can incorporate them easily into our eating habits. Participants will get to sample a variety of things to see first-hand the impact that they can have.
