Prunes
Also called: prunes, dried plums, prune
Sweet, soft dried plums — moistening and gently laxative, grounding for Vata.
How Prunes 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
Sugar-dense, so a lot leans to Kapha.
