Yes, it is true that **saabut dhaniya (whole coriander seeds)** has a cooling effect on the body according to Ayurvedic principles. Coriander is considered beneficial for balancing **Pitta dosha** and is often used to cool down internal heat, especially in warmer months or hot climates. Soaking **saabut dhaniya** overnight and drinking the water in the morning can be refreshing and soothing, particularly in hot weather.
However, in the colder months or during **Vata and Kapha-dominant seasons** (typically fall and winter), it may not be ideal for everyone, especially if you're prone to coldness or low digestion. In these seasons, people with a **Vata imbalance** (dryness, coldness) might experience increased discomfort, and the cooling nature of coriander could exacerbate that.
If you feel cold or have digestive issues like bloating or low metabolism during this season, it might be better to either:
- **Limit the intake** of coriander water, or
- **Warm the water slightly** before drinking it to avoid too much cooling effect.
For some people, especially those with a **Pitta imbalance** (excessive heat, acidity), the cooling effect of coriander water in the morning could be very beneficial. If you do not experience any discomfort from it and enjoy the benefits, it should be fine. If you're uncertain, it's always a good idea to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner who can recommend the best dietary practices tailored to your specific constitution and the current season.

Soaked dhaniya (coriander seeds) water is indeed a classic remedy in Ayurveda and yes it’s generally considered cooling in nature. But whether it's appropriate for you depends on more than just the season. Our bodies react to foods based on our doshas - Vata, Pitta, and Kapha - and their imbalances can vary from person to person.
If you've got a Pitta dominance or if your constitution tends to run hot, sipping on soaked dhaniya water in the morning could actually help calm those fiery energies. People with excessive Pitta may feel overheated or irritable, and a natural coolant could provide balance. Now, if you’re experiencing primarily Vata or Kapha doshas or if the season is really cold in your area, you might feel it’s too cooling.
Isn't life always about balance, though? If you're in a cooler season and want to try this remedy, maybe pair it with something warming like fresh ginger. You could also slightly roast the seeds before soaking them to lessen the cooling effect a bit. Roasting contributes an additional quality that could help balance the essence of the seed itself.
In the process of Ayurveda, it's significant to observe how your body adapts and reacts. Start with small amounts and see how your digestion feels or if there's any notable change in your body temperature or energy. Feel free to mix insights and definitely don’t ignore your body's signals. You can always chat with a practitioner to give you a more personalized plan.
So, yes it's cooling but could still be okay for you – don't rule it out until you’ve given it a shot! Just be mindful. Take care, and remember that everything in moderation is key to maintaining harmony within the body!
