Dill seed
Also called: sowa, suva, dill, dillsamen
Pungent and warming — a digestive and carminative that settles Vata and clears Kapha.
How Dill seed 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 | Use sparingly | Can raise Pitta — go easy when Pitta runs high. |
| Kapha | Balancing | Calms Kapha — favour it when Kapha runs high. |
When to go easy
Heating, so it aggravates Pitta.
