Brinjal Benefits Ayurveda - #6161
I’ve always loved eating brinjal in different dishes like curries and bharta, but recently, someone told me that brinjal isn’t good for everyone in Ayurveda. This got me curious because I thought it was a healthy vegetable. I’ve started reading about brinjal benefits Ayurveda, but I’m finding mixed information. Some people say it’s good for digestion, while others warn it could increase certain doshas. I have a sensitive stomach and occasionally suffer from acidity. Does brinjal aggravate pitta or vata dosha? Or is it more suitable for people with kapha imbalance? I noticed after eating brinjal a few times recently that I felt bloated, but I’m not sure if it’s because of the brinjal itself or the spices in the curry. Could you explain how brinjal benefits Ayurveda and whether it’s suitable for someone like me? Also, are there specific ways to prepare brinjal to maximize its benefits in Ayurveda? For example, would roasting it make it lighter on digestion compared to frying? I want to keep eating it because it’s such a versatile vegetable, but I don’t want to mess up my dosha balance. Are there any Ayurvedic herbs or spices that can be paired with brinjal to enhance its benefits?
