Guest guest Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 I was wondering if anyone has evaluated Kefir from ayurvedic perspective. Thanks, Rishi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 KEFIR Kefir is sour and slightly warming. It decreases Vata but increases Pitta and Kapha. It is between yogurt and buttermilk in qualities, being lighter than the former but heavier than the latter. It improves digestion and absorption and is good for low appetite and anorexia. Fruit sweetened kefir is weaker in this respect. It may contain large amounts of sugar that can cause Ama (toxins) formation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Thanks for your input, Noel! I just started having Kefir (milk one, cultured at home) and felt a lot of bloating. But in case it's established to be decreasing Vata, I guess it should be a passing phase and my body should be able to adjust in a few days. Thanks again!
