In Ayurveda, pumpkin is known to promote feelings of contentment and relaxation. This mildly sweet and versatile grounding ingredient can be used in sweet and savory dishes to help satisfy your stomach and calm your mind. Ā Pumpkin contains magnesium and potassium which help to relieve tension and muscle tightness in the body as well as coating the digestive tract keeping the mucosal lining intact and nourished. Ā
Baking with Ghee
By using ghee in this recipe, youāre helping your body better absorb all of the nutrients from the pumpkin and cinnamon deeper into your systems and tissues. Ā Pumpkin is an anti-inflammatory vegetable known to help ease ulcers, acid reflux, and digestive discomfort. Ā For some, pumpkin might actually be considered cooling. Ā Try preparing it with warming spices like cinnamon (used in the recipe here), ginger, or nutmeg to help keep your digestive fire burning.
