Cooked Cabbage Benefits (According to Ayurveda)

How Does This Ayurvedic Food Improve Wellness?

CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW

Recipes with Cabbage (cooked): Fennel, Cabbage, Coconut Chicken Curry Soup
Recipes with Cabbage (cooked): Fennel, Cabbage, Coconut Chicken Curry Soup
Cabbage's cool, light nature makes it ideal for recovery from a few days of heavy foods. Cooked, it is soft yet bulky, providing ample fiber to clear and gently cleanse the GI.

A hot steaming bowl of soft cabbage soup soothes as it satisfies. Though it fills the belly, from a calorie standpoint Cabbage has all the austerity of a monk in hermitage. This lightness and austerity makes cabbage ideal for Kapha constitutions.

Cooling, Anti-Inflammatory

Cabbage's cooling nature, and high antioxidants can reduce chronic inflammation, according to studies. It also cools the mind and refreshes the eyes.

Fresh cabbage juice helps promote rapid healing of ulcers, and the Greeks and Romans used it to relieve eye inflammation. These cooling properties make cabbage ideal for fiery Pitta body types.

Difficult to Digest

However, if you regularly experience gut-related issues like gas or bloating, it is best to avoid raw cabbage as it is very difficult to digest.

Because of its indigestibility, drying diuretic nature, and coldness, raw cabbage strongly provokes Vata (deficient body type).

However, cooked cabbage is more easily digestible especially when paired with vinegar & spices.

Contraindications

Raw cabbage contains chemicals called goitrogens that can block thyroid function. Fortunately, these chemicals are easily inactivated by steaming or cooking.

Buying & Preparation

Cabbage is relatively inexpensive and comes in many varieties from bok choy to red or green cabbage. Look for bright colors and ensure that tips are not withered.

Cooking Cabbage (cooked)

Cabbage is eaten raw as in cole slaw, cooked as in cabbage soup, or preserved as in sauerkraut and kim-chi.

Guna Help

Increases These Biocharacteristics (Gunas)

Functional Ayurveda helps you assess imbalances through 20 main biocharacteristics (gunas). Aggravating these characteristics weakens your body and causes imbalance. By knowing which characteristics are habitually imbalanced in your body, you will be able to identify and correct imbalances before you get sick. Every characteristic has an opposite which balances it (i.e. hot balances cold). You restore balance by favoring diet and lifestyle choices that increase the opposite characteristic.

TASTES
Taste Help

The 6 Tastes

Taste is used to sense the most basic properties and effects of food. Each taste has a specific medicinal effect on your body. Cravings for food with certain tastes indicate your body is craving specific medicinal results from food. Taste is experienced on the tongue and represents your body's reaction to foods. Sweet taste causes physical satisfaction and attraction whereas bitter taste causes discomfort and aversion. Kapha should use less sweet taste while Vata and Pitta would benefit from using more sweet taste. One of the first signs of illness is that your taste and appetite for food changes. The six tastes are sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent. Do you crave foods with any of the tastes below?

DOSHAS
Dosha Help

The Three Doshas / Body Types

According to the biocharacteristic theory of medicine, people tend to get sick, over and over again, due to habitual causes and imbalances that are unique to the person. Your body type summarizes this tendency, showing you the 'type' of conditions and imbalances that frequently challenge your health & wellness. Using body type, you can also identify remedies likely to improve your strength and resiliency. Your body type identifies physical and mental characteristics as well as your personal strengths and weaknesses. The calculation of your body type is based on your medical history.

The 3 functional body types (doshas), are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha). Catabolic individuals tend to break down body mass into energy. They are easily stimulated, hyperactive, underweight and dry. Metabolic individuals tend to burn or use energy. They tend to be rosy-cheeked, easily irritated, focused, driven, and easily inflamed. Anabolic individuals tend to store energy as body mass. If they store too much energy, they could gain weight easily and have congestion. Anabolic people tend to be stable and grounded.

HOW DOES EATING AYURVEDICALLY MAKE YOU FEEL?

Eating Ayurvedically makes you feel nourished and energized. Food digests with ease when right for your body type (dosha). Healthy digestion is seen as the cornerstone of well-being in Ayurveda. Healthy digestion generally prevents illness. If you do get sick, a strong digestive fire reduces the severity of illness and increases your resilience. It also improves your mood. Once you begin eating Ayurvedically, you will feel refreshed, vital and strong.

John's interest in Ayurveda and specialization in digestive tract pathology was inspired by a complex digestive disorder acquired from years of international travel, as well as public service work in South Asia. John's commitment to the detailed study of digestive disorders reflects his zeal to get down to the roots of the problem. His hope and belief in the capacity of each & every client to improve their quality of life is nothing short of a personal passion.

John enjoys sharing Ayurveda within the context of his Catholic roots, and finds Ayurveda gives him an opportunity to participate in the healing mission of the Church. Jesus expressed God's love by feeding and healing the sick. That kindness is the fundamental ministry of Ayurveda as well. Outside of work, John enjoys spending time with his wife and 7 kids, and pursuing his love of theology, philosophy, and language.
