Ingredients

Ingredients of Brihat Bananthi Leha:
Shatapushpa [Foeniculum vulgare] – Dill
Shunti [Zingiber officinale] – Ginger – Dry and fresh ginger are quite similar in action except that the dry one is preferred to fresh on during summers, as per Ayurveda. Ginger is useful in indigestion, asthma, nausea and more.
Pippali [Piper longum] – Long pepper
Draksha [Vitis vinifera] – raisins – Grape is the one of the must-have fruits for everyone. Ayurveda says “Drakshaa Phalottamaa” – of all the fruits grape is the best. When we go to the fruit market, we can not get the sweet grapes always. We may get more-sweet-little-sour variety or more-sour-little sweet variety etc. Each of those varieties have their own effect on Tridosha and our health as a whole. Let us explore the Ayurvedic health benefits of grapes varieties -dry and fresh, unripe, semi ripe, full ripened etc.
Madhu [Honey]
