Orange juice
Also called: oj, orangensaft
Sweet, cooling and hydrating.
How Orange juice 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 | Neutral | Broadly neutral for Pitta. |
| Kapha | Use sparingly | Can raise Kapha — go easy when Kapha runs high. |
When to go easy
Concentrated fruit sugar without the fibre of the whole fruit — sweet-heavy for Kapha; the sourness may aggravate reflux despite the cooling virya.
Cautions
- Acid Reflux
Practical flag: sour citrus juice may aggravate reflux or hyperacidity in sensitive people.
