can we drink sabja water daily - #36839
I am dealing with this weird digestion issue lately and rwally want to fix it. A friend told me about sabja seeds, and I tried drinking sabja water, like, every morning for a week. The first few days felt kinda good, but then I started getting bloated and even had some cramps, like, why is that happening? Can we drink sabja water daily without any issues? I mean, I read that sabja has a lot of benefits, but I'm worried now... I don't understand if I might be overdoing it or if it’s just not working for me. Plus, I already have this habit of drinking water, lemon and honey every morning, and now I added this sabja water to the mix. Is that a good combo? I also did some research and saw things like "helps with weight loss" and "good for skin," but nothing on if it’s actually safe to drink sabja water daily for me specifically. Anyone else had this kind of reaction? Should I just cut back to maybe a few times a week instead of everyday? I can't afford to feel worse. Any help would be awesome!

Sabja seeds, also known as sweet basil seeds, do have several health benefits including aiding digestion, weight loss, and skin health. However, not everyone can tolerate them daily, especially if you’re experiencing bloating and cramps. It’s essential to recognize that each person’s body responds differently based on individual constitution (prakriti) and current health imbalances.
Adding sabja to your routine might be beneficial, but it seems you’re experiencing some adverse effects. The bloating and cramps may suggest that your agni, or digestive fire, is not adequately processing this addition, possibly due to its cooling properties. In Ayurveda, balancing is key. If you have a vata dosha imbalance or weak digestive fire, introducing something cold or heavy in nature, like soaked sabja seeds, could exacerbate symptoms.
Considering you already consume a concoction of water, lemon, and honey daily, which is warming in nature, it might conflict with the cooling effect of sabja, leading to digestive discomfort. It’s advisable to separate their intake to see if it mitigates the issues. Try having sabja water in the afternoon when your digestion may be more active.
Perhaps you should reduce the frequency - having sabja water 2-3 times a week instead of daily could be a better fit for your body’s current needs. Pay attention to portion size too; a teaspoon of seeds is usually enough when soaking. Consuming excessive amounts can burden the digestive system and absorb excess fluid, potentially causing those cramps.
If the bloating and cramps persist, it’s crucial to reconsider the inclusion of sabja seeds and consult with a professional to explore other mild options for digestion, like gentle herbal teas or spice blends, that are suitable for your dosha. Above all, if symptoms worsen, immediate medical advice should be sought.
