Peya In Ayurveda - #4696

Anonymously

I’ve been trying to follow a more Ayurvedic lifestyle to help with digestion issues, and I recently learned about something called Peya in Ayurveda. From what I’ve read, Peya in Ayurveda seems to be a type of thin rice porridge or gruel that’s used for people recovering from illnesses or with weak digestion. I’m curious about how Peya in Ayurveda works and whether it’s something I can include in my daily diet. Does Peya in Ayurveda have specific benefits beyond improving digestion? For example, I’ve heard it can be good for people with fever or dehydration. If that’s true, what’s the best way to prepare Peya in Ayurveda to maximize its benefits? Should I add spices like ginger or cumin, or is it better to keep it plain? I’m also wondering how often Peya in Ayurveda can be consumed. Is it okay to eat Peya in Ayurveda every day, or should it only be used occasionally, like during illness? Since I sometimes feel bloated after meals, would switching to Peya in Ayurveda for dinner help? If anyone here has incorporated Peya in Ayurveda into their routine, did it make a noticeable difference in your health? And are there different types of Peya in Ayurveda depending on your dosha type? For instance, should a Vata person eat Peya differently than someone with Kapha dominance? Lastly, are there any modern variations of Peya in Ayurveda that use other grains or ingredients? I’d like to experiment but want to make sure I’m staying true to the traditional principles of Ayurveda.

Doctors’ responses

Peya in Ayurveda is a thin rice porridge, commonly used to support digestion, recovery, and detoxification. It is especially helpful for those recovering from illness, dehydration, or digestive weakness. It is typically consumed in cases of fever or indigestion. The ingredients vary but typically include rice, water, and ghee. Peya is easy on the stomach and works by soothing and strengthening the digestive fire. It’s best consumed freshly made and can be eaten 1-2 times a day, depending on your needs. If you have a weak digestive system or a chronic illness, consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner for the right type of Peya and preparation method is recommended.
