in Ayurvedic Perspective

How Should We Consume Pomegranate…?!

Did you know that pomegranate is one of the most balanced fruits?
Pomegranate is cold and dry, and it’s anti-inflammatory

Did you know that pomegranate is one of the best remedies for hypertension?
If your blood pressure is high, squeeze a pomegranate and pour the juice into a jar. From 2 hours after each meal, once every hour, pour 2 tablespoons of pomegranate juice into a glass of warm water, add a teaspoon of honey and drink it.

But be careful!

Be careful if you have a slow metabolism, or an under-activated thyroid! Consumption of pomegranate makes thyroid hypo-active and it’s a good medicine for hyperthyroidism, so it’s better to consume pomegranate with its antidote…

But what’s the antidote for pomegranate?

• The best antidote for pomegranate is the thin white membrane that separates the seeds. When you’re eating pomegranate, chew and swallow some of these white membranes!
• Or sprinkle some salt and cumin or fennel on the pomegranate seeds.

If you’re constipated, don’t chew the pomegranate seeds! The seeds are a strong remedy for diarrhea! Just suck the juice and swallow the seeds or spit them out.
