Avocado
Also called: avocado, butterfrucht
Rich, oily and cooling — deeply grounding for Vata and gentle on Pitta.
How Avocado affects your doshas
In Ayurveda a food's effect depends on your constitution. This is the lens the app uses to suggest what to favour and ease off.
| Dosha | Suitability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vata | Balancing | Calms Vata — favour it when Vata runs high. |
| Pitta | Balancing | Calms Pitta — favour it when Pitta runs high. |
| Kapha | Use sparingly | Can raise Kapha — go easy when Kapha runs high. |
When to go easy
Heavy and oily, so it adds to Kapha.
