01/7What you must avoid after consuming Paan

Betel leaves possess immense therapeutic potential, which is mentioned in the ancient Ayurvedic manuscripts of Charaka Samhita, and Sushruta Samhita. They harbour a characteristic Tikta and Katu Rasa i.e. bitter and pungent taste and generate warmth in the body, with a strong Ushna Virya or potency. Moreover, these green bounties are blessed with Kshara guna i.e. an alkaline quality, that effectively neutralizes pH imbalances in the stomach and intestines, to vastly improve digestive health. They can easily be incorporated into the diet or consumed as pastes, powders, and juices, to enhance metabolism, thanks to their Laghu Gunas of being light to assimilate in the body. They help to raise the Pitta doshas, while balancing the Vata and Kapha elements, to maintain tridoshic harmony in the system. Often, we consume paan keeping in mind the taste.
