Green chilli
Also called: hari mirch, green chili, chilli, grüne chili
Sharp and stimulating — kindles a dull appetite and cuts Kapha.
How Green chilli 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 | Neutral | Broadly neutral for Vata. |
| 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
Strongly heating: it aggravates Pitta, and in quantity dries and unsettles Vata.
