Prawn
Also called: shrimp, jhinga, garnele, prawns
Rich and warming — building and grounding for Vata.
How Prawn 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 | Use sparingly | Can raise Pitta — go easy when Pitta runs high. |
| Kapha | Use sparingly | Can raise Kapha — go easy when Kapha runs high. |
When to go easy
Heating, heavy and oily, so it clearly adds to Pitta and Kapha; a common allergen.
