Bok choy
Also called: pak choi, chinese cabbage, pak choy
A light, watery leaf — cooling for Pitta and lightening for Kapha, especially stir-fried.
How Bok choy 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 |

| Pitta | Balancing | Calms Pitta — favour it when Pitta runs high. |
| Kapha | Balancing | Calms Kapha — favour it when Kapha runs high. |
When to go easy
