How Ehould We Eat Cucumber?

by: Setareh Kiumarsi

Cucumber is considered a great remedy for Pitta imbalances,

But…

Did you know that eating cucumber (by its own and without its antidote) in autumn and winter makes your body too cold and fills your digestive tube with toxins?!

Did you know that cucumber simultaneously aggravates Vata (makes you gassy) and Kapha (creates water retention)?

So how should we consume the Cucumber?

Here are two good solutions:

• One of the antidotes for cucumber is its own peel; so you shouldn’t peel a cucumber since its skin will act
  like an antidote and calm down Vata and Kapha!
• Another good antidote for cucumber is adding some rock salt and fennel powder to it.
