I’ve been hearing a lot about the Indrayan fruit, and I’m curious to learn more. What is the Indrayan fruit in Hindi, and what are its health benefits according to Ayurveda and traditional medicine?

From what I understand, Indrayan (also known as Pomelo or Citrus maxima) is a large citrus fruit known for its sweet and slightly tangy flavor. How does this fruit support digestive health, detoxification, and immunity?

Indrayan fruit, also known as Pomelo or Citrus maxima in Hindi, is a large citrus fruit that is often praised for its digestive and detoxifying properties in Ayurveda. It helps balance the digestive fire (Agni) by improving digestion and relieving issues like bloating, indigestion, and constipation. Rich in Vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber, it strengthens immunity and supports skin health. The fruit's tangy yet sweet flavor makes it a refreshing addition to the diet, and it can be consumed fresh or in juice form. Its high antioxidant content aids in detoxification, helping to flush out toxins from the body. In Ayurvedic formulations, the juice may be used for its cooling and digestive benefits. However, people with sensitive digestion or acidity issues should consume it in moderation, as the high citrus content can sometimes aggravate these conditions. It’s best to consult with a healthcare provider if there are concerns regarding its use.
