Lemon Ayurveda - #6185
I’ve been drinking warm lemon water every morning for digestion and energy, but I recently started wondering about lemon Ayurveda and whether I’m using lemons the right way according to Ayurvedic principles. Does Ayurveda recommend lemons for all doshas, or are they more beneficial for certain types? I have a pitta imbalance and sometimes feel acid reflux after drinking lemon water. Could this mean that lemon Ayurveda isn’t suitable for people with pitta issues? Or is there a better way to consume it? I’ve also heard that lemons are great for detoxification and boosting immunity. Does lemon Ayurveda suggest specific times or methods for using lemons for maximum benefits? For example, should I add honey or spices like ginger to balance its properties? Another thing I’m curious about is whether lemons are good for the skin. Can I use lemon juice externally for acne or dark spots, or does lemon Ayurveda advise against it for certain skin types? Lastly, how does Ayurveda view lemon during different seasons? Should I avoid it in the summer because of its sour nature, or is it fine all year round?
