Pomegranate is treasured in Ayurveda for its myriad health benefits, particularly for the heart and blood. Its taste is primarily astringent and sour, making it excellent for balancing Pitta and Kapha. It is a powerful antioxidant, used to support cardiovascular health, purify the blood, and aid digestion. The dried seeds (Anardana) are used as a souring agent in cooking, while the peel is a potent medicine for skin and gut health.
● For Culinary Use (Anardana): Sprinkle the seed powder over dishes to add a tangy, fruity flavor, especially in North Indian and Persian cuisines.
● For a Skin-Firming Face Mask (Peel Powder): Mix the peel powder with rose water to create a paste. Apply to the skin to help tighten pores, fight acne, and provide a potent antioxidant boost.
● For a Soothing Mouth Rinse (Peel Powder): A decoction of the peel powder can be used as a gargle to soothe a sore throat and support gum health.
