In Ayurveda, raw apples are good for Pitta and Kapha body constitutions. Vata predominant people should eat well cooked and spiced apples (because of their dryness).
Some benefits:
1. Raw apple and fresh apple juice can relieve constipation (this also can stimulate Vata dosha)
2. Chew a peeled apple 1 hour after a meal to activate bowel movements and clean tongue and teeth
3. Fresh apple juice can help against burning sensations (gastritis, colitis, bladder infections)
4. Peeled and cooked apples with a pinch of nutmeg, saffron and 1 tsp of ghee help to reduce diarrhea
Sweet snack idea:
1. Take 5 peeled apples and remove their core
2. Blend it and add honey (to taste)
3. Add ¼ tsp of cardamom powder, a pinch of saffron and nutmeg powder and 10 drops of rose water
4. Do not consume milk, yogurt or fish 4 hours before/after this dessert (incompatible food combination)
Note: These are only suggestions which do not replace any advices from a qualified Ayurvedic physician.
