Guava
Also called: amrud, guave
Sweet-astringent and cooling — settles Pitta.
How Guava 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 | Use sparingly | Can raise Vata — go easy when Vata runs high. |
| Pitta | Balancing | Calms Pitta — favour it when Pitta runs high. |
| Kapha | Neutral | Broadly neutral for Kapha. |
When to go easy
The seeds and astringency can unsettle Vata; best ripe.
