Lychee
Also called: litchi, lychees
Juicy, sweet and grounding — settling for Vata and cooling for Pitta.
How Lychee 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 | Neutral | Broadly neutral for Pitta. |
| Kapha | Use sparingly | Can raise Kapha — go easy when Kapha runs high. |
When to go easy
Sweet and heavy, so it can add to Kapha; some feel a subjective heat if they eat a lot.
