How is Mango used in Ayurveda, and what are its health benefits? - #12351
I’ve always loved eating mangoes during the summer, but I’ve recently learned that mango is not only a delicious fruit but also has a number of health benefits in Ayurveda. I’m curious to know more about how Ayurveda uses mango and its various parts, such as the fruit, leaves, and seed, for treating various health conditions and promoting overall wellness. How does mango help in improving digestion, boosting immunity, and supporting detoxification? I’ve heard that mango can cool the body during hot weather, making it particularly beneficial for Pitta dosha. How does mango help in cooling the system, and how can it be consumed for best effects—fresh, as mango pulp, or as a mango drink? I also came across information that mangoes are good for skin health due to their high content of Vitamin C, antioxidants, and hydrating properties. How does consuming mangoes benefit the skin in terms of reducing acne, improving complexion, and providing glow? Is it more effective when applied topically or consumed internally? Additionally, mango seeds are said to have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. How can mango seed powder be used in Ayurvedic remedies to treat diabetes, dysentery, and even hair loss? Lastly, I’d like to know about the precautions to take when using mango in Ayurveda. Are there any contraindications when it comes to overconsumption, or should people with high blood sugar consume mangoes in moderation? If anyone has used mango or its parts for health or skin benefits, I’d love to hear your experience. How did it improve your digestion, immune system, or skin health? Looking forward to your insights!
