Mustard greens
Also called: sarson ka saag, sarson, senfblätter
Pungent, light and warming — a winter leafy that strongly reduces Kapha.
How Mustard greens 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
Sharp and heating, so it aggravates Pitta, and dry for Vata.
