Figs are a sattvic, rejuvenative fruit in Ayurveda—hydrating, gently cleansing, and nourishing to all tissues. Especially beneficial for Vata and Pitta, figs support elimination, immunity, reproductive health, and overall well-being when consumed soaked, stewed, or fresh.
In Ayurveda, figs (Anjeer) are regarded as a nourishing and medicinal fruit with a wide array of health benefits. Here’s a summary of the key Ayurvedic benefits of figs:
In Ayurveda, cooking rice and dates together creates a dish that is considered deeply nourishing, grounding, and restorative. This combination is favored for its taste, digestibility, and rejuvenative properties, offering a host of benefits across all three doshas, especially Vata and Pitta.
In Ayurveda, okra (also known as bhindi or lady’s finger) is appreciated for its gentle, nourishing, and balancing qualities. Here are the main Ayurvedic benefits of okra:
In Ayurveda, dal (also spelled dal, dahl, or daal)—which refers to split pulses and legumes such as mung, masoor (red lentil), toor (pigeon pea), urad (black gram), and chana (split chickpea)—is considered a highly nourishing and essential food. Dal is a highly valued, nourishing, and balancing food in Ayurveda. It builds strength and immunity, is easy to digest (especially when prepared properly), and supports all doshas—making it a cornerstone of Ayurvedic nutrition and healing.
In Ayurveda, nuts are prized for their nourishing, strengthening, and rejuvenative qualities. They build ojas, support all tissues, and balance Vata and Pitta when prepared and eaten mindfully. Soaked and spiced, they become a sattvic, easily assimilated food that promotes lasting vitality.
