As
Seen On Dr Oz. - Weight Loss Mung Bean Soup Ingredients
In Ayurveda, mung bean soup has a powerful effect. It helps to balance all 3 doshas. Its spices are the driving force behind this delicious and nourishing soup. When combined with certain sharp and penetrating herbs, the blocks created by Aam – or the toxic mucus that lodges in the body over time due to poor diet, lack of exercise and wrong lifestyle – are broken and flushed out of the body. That's why it's the perfect soup to jump start any Ayurvedic diet.
