Benefits of Ayurvedic Coriander Chutney
This chutney ensures various health benefits. The main ingredient which is coriander leaf balances tridosha. People with Pitta dosha might reduce chilli, salt and mustard seeds even though coriander has cooling properties. Other ingredients also have benefits. Ghee is enriched with Vitamins A, D, E, and K. It stimulates the digestive system and increases vitamin absorbency. Cumin is a rich source of iron. It prevents indigestion, flatulence, diarrhoea, nausea and morning sickness. Curry leaves protect gastrointestinal tract, control diabetes, control cholesterol, reduce chemo and radio side effects. Then ginger maintains normal blood circulation, improves absorption, combats stomach discomfort, reduces pain and inflammation, and fights common respiratory problems. But one must consume it at the right time and in right quantity. Too much consumption of anything is never good for health.
