Sawan me kadhi kyu nahi kate: As soon as the month of Sawan arrives, there is a wonderful combination of greenery, coolness and spiritual energy in the atmosphere. Shiva devotion has special significance in this holy month, and at the same time many traditions and rules are followed regarding food and lifestyle. One of these traditions is that eating kadhi during Sawan is abstained from eating. But have you ever wondered why this is said? Is it only a religious belief, or is there any scientific or Ayurvedic argument behind it?
Let us know in detail why Kadhi should not be eaten in Sawan, and what Ayurveda says about it. We will understand this subject deeply so that you too can take care in your routine and take full advantage of this holy weather in terms of health.
What is Kadhi and what is added to it?
Kadhi is a favorite part of Indian food that is made from a mixture of curd and gram flour. It is cooked on light flame and is often added to dumplings or green chillies. Its taste is sour-strip and it is considered cooling the stomach. But this cold can prove to be harmful to our health during the spring season.
Sawan and weather change
The rainy season is at its peak during the spring. There is moisture in the atmosphere, the rays of the sun are very rare and the digestive system becomes naturally weak. According to Ayurveda, during the rainy season, the vata and phlegm defects in the body increase, which weakens the digestive power. In such a time, citrus, cold and heavy food can harm the body.
Ayurvedic effect
According to Ayurveda, the yogurt used in Kadhi is of acidic properties during the rainy season, which further enhances phlegm in the body. In addition, gram flour is a heavy and late digested grain, which puts additional pressure on the already weak digestive system. It can cause problems such as gas, indigestion, swelling, and acidity.
Eating curry can increase water elements and phlegm defects in the body, causing problems such as colds, colds, fever, shortness of breath and malfunction, especially those who are already suffering from allergies or sinuses.
Kadhi’s sourness and monsoon problems
Consumption of sour substances in Sawan is considered particularly forbidden. The reason for this is that sour taste (acid juice) unbalanced bile and phlegm in the body. This can increase problems like skin disorders, allergies, exhaustion and even fungal infections, which are common in the monsoon. In such a situation, sour kadhi affects digestive power more.
Religious and traditional reasons
Sawan is the month of Shiva Bhakti. This month is considered a symbol of restraint, fasting, satvic diet and simple lifestyle. In such a situation, the tradition of avoiding kadhi -like fried, spicy and citrus dishes is also associated with this principle, so that both body and mind can be kept pure.
Should everyone avoid curry?
Although some people who have good digestive power may eat Kadhi in small amounts and with fresh, light spices, but people who have allergies, acidity, thyroid, sinuses, asthma or digestive problems are prudent to distance them from Kadhi in Sawan. Also, for children and the elderly, this season demands a little extra precautions.
What can be the options?
If you want to eat light food, then vegetables like lentils, moong dal, buttermilk (without salt), green vegetable soup, plain khichdi, and gourd are better options. They not only digest easily, but also provide enough energy and nutrition to the body.
