Benefits of Pomegranate ๐
Pomegranates are called Dadima in Sanskrit or Anar in Hindi.
The botanical name is Punica granatum.
This beautiful fruit is popular for its refreshing taste.
In Ayurveda, pomegranates are valued for their numerous health benefits and are considered to have a balancing effect on the bodyโs doshas, primarily Pitta and Vata.
Here are our top 5 reasons to add some pomegranate to your diet.
1. Cooling Effect: Pomegranates have a cooling nature, which can help pacify excess heat (Pitta) in the body, promoting balance and reducing symptoms like inflammation and acidity.
2. Digestive Support: Pomegranates contain enzymes that aid digestion and can help alleviate digestive issues, including bloating and indigestion, by supporting healthy agni (digestive fire).
3. Heart Health: The astringent properties of pomegranates can help strengthen the heart muscles and promote healthy blood circulation, potentially reducing the risk of cardiovascular issues. โฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธ
4. Mind and Emotions: Some Ayurvedic texts indicate that pomegranates can have a positive impact on mental and emotional well-being, helping to balance emotions and calm the mind.
5. Blood Purification: pomegranates can assist in purifying the blood, contributing to healthier skin and overall vitality. This includes menstrual health, they may help regulate the menstrual cycle and manage symptoms of imbalanced Vata and Pitta, such as irregular periods and menstrual pain. ๐ฉธ๐ฉธ๐ฉธ
The Ayurvedic properties of Dadima include:
- Rasa (taste): sweet, astringent and sour.
- Vipaka (post-digestive taste): sweet.
- Virya (potency): semi-hot in potency and it has an effect to balance all three doshas.
