Kombucha
Also called: fermented tea
A light, tart fermented tea — its sourness can spark a sluggish appetite and lighten Kapha.
How Kombucha 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 | 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
Sour, carbonated and tea-based, so it is drying for Vata and souring for Pitta.
