Cucumber Balances Pitta
Cucumber Balances Pitta
When we analyze the properties of cucumber based on ayurvedic principles, it pacifies pitta dosha. Pitta dosha is associated with heat. Pitta when aggravated can cause acidity, heart burn, high blood pressure, irregular sleep pattern, acne, irritability, and emotional disturbances. Cucumber helps to reduce vitiation of pitta and cools the body.
Ayurvedic treatment for difficulty in urination, excessive thirst, headache and insomnia.
Sushruta Samhita, the Ayurvedic treatise, mentions that cucumber is a sheetala (coolant), mutrakaraka (diuretic), and shodhana (cleans urinary gladder).
