Benefits of eating soaked almonds and raisins in Ayurveda
Dr. Chanchal Sharma said that consumption of almonds and raisins (especially raisins) is one of the best ‘rasayan’ therapies in Ayurveda. These work to balance the three doshas of our body i.e. Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Almonds have a hot nature, while raisins have a cold nature. Therefore, their combination maintains an excellent balance in body temperature and energy.
Ayurvedic verses and their meanings
Verse for Almonds (Vatad)
“It is a wind-giving, hot, well-oiled, wind-killing, and spermicidal heavy.
Which means almonds are hot and smooth/oily by nature. These reduce Vata Dosha, increase Shukra Dhatu and are heavy to digest. Therefore, for easy digestion, they should be soaked overnight and eaten after peeling them.
Verse for Raisins/Munakka (Draksha)
“Grapes are testicles, whole, heavenly, sweet, conquering blood and bile; alkaline, sweet and cold, they kill thirst, fever and breath.
This means that raisins are aphrodisiac, laxative, beneficial for improving voice and sweet in taste. They pacify Rakta-Pitta (blood heat and bleeding disorders), are cooling in nature and cure excessive thirst, fever and respiratory diseases.
