Dr Oz: Hot Lemonade, Green Mung Bean Soup & Kitchari Spice Mix

Dr Oz: Ayurvedic Diet

Diets aren’t for everyone, and your results on any program will vary, no matter how popular it is. Dr Oz likes to share different perspectives on occasion, and that’s why he invited Sunita Mohan, a holistic nutritionist, to share her secrets, which are based on ancient Ayurvedic principles. She shared recipes for Green Mung Bean Soup, Hot Lemonade & a Breakfast Sundae.

One of the keys to this nutrition program is Banyan Botanical Kitchari Spice Mix, which is great for cooking your favorite dishes. This time-tested diet also relies on the benefits of Papaya and uses Sesame Oil as a mouth rinse.

Doctor Oz: Ayurvedic Diet Results

Three women put this program to the test, and they revealed to Dr Oz that they lost a combined 56 pounds just by trying these tips, without having to diet or work out.

Sunita Mohan said to think of the Ayurvedic program as a way of life, instead of a fad diet. The reason it works for people, even when other plans don’t seem to stick, is that its goal is to improve the body’s digestive processes. It doesn’t require you to count calories or carbs; it simply aims to make your body work better for you.

If you’re looking for a premixed spice you can add to your diet or meal plan to get the six flavor benefits mentioned on the show, there is a convenient solution. You can try Banyan Botanical Kitchari Spice Mix, which combines these flavors together.

Dr Oz: Sesame Oil Mouthwash Remedy

Sunita also recommended using Sesame Oil as a mouthwash, to aid digestion. Just swish for a few minutes starting out, building up and rinsing for more time as you get used to it. The oil will bind to your saliva and help extract toxins from the body. Just be sure, like with mouthwash, that you spit when you’re done; don’t swallow.
