Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 hi jai here is my tentative analysis of the dravyguna of roasted coffee (like espresso or drip coffee, not with sugar/milk/cream) the caveat of course is that coffee has no traditional use in India, so these are only my impressions... rasa: tikta vipaka: katu virya: ushna, tikshna, laghu karma: bhedana, svasahara, mutravirechana, vyavayi, svedana, medohara, kaphahara, vatapittakopa or in other words, coffee is bitter in taste, with a pungent post-digestive effect, hot/sharp/light in energy action-wise it is laxative, bronchodilatory, diuretic, spreads quickly through the body, promotes sweating, reduces fat and kapha, increases vata and pitta Caldecott > Greetings. > I would like to know if drinking coffee is good from ayurvedic POV. > How does it affect the system? > Thanks and regards, > Jai > Caldecott todd www.toddcaldecott.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Hi, Thanks for the reply. I was trying to figure out the root cause of my disturbing digestive system. I thought it might be because of my excessive coffee drinking (5-6 cups a day). Coffee helps in fat loss.. thats a great news.. probably, I will try cutting down to max 2 cups as per the advice of some members... With regards, Jai.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 you can also find alternative to coffee such as non cafeine coffee, and the Yogi tea brand Jamaica.
