Radish (tender)
Mulaka·मूलक
Also called: mooli, young radish, radieschen, red radish
Sharp, light and penetrating — cuts Kapha and stimulates a dull appetite.
How Radish (tender) 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 | 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
Pungent and heating: it adds to Pitta.
