Ayurveda Warning: Avoid Curd in Fagun-Chait (Feb-Mar) for These People

• Ayurvedacharya Dr. Ranjan Kumar advises caution with curd consumption during Fagun-Chait (February-March) due to its 'Abhishyandi' nature, meaning it can cause blockages.
• The spring season's transition from cold to warm affects immunity and digestion, making curd consumption potentially increase Kapha and worsen cold, cough, or allergy symptoms.
• Ayurvedic texts prohibit curd in Sharad (autumn), Grishma (summer), and Basant (spring) seasons as it can exacerbate Kapha and digestive issues, especially when Jatharagni (digestive power) is weak.
• Curd is beneficial in Hemant (early winter) and Shishir (late winter) due to strong digestive power; limited consumption is okay in rainy season, but avoid regularly from spring to July.
• For those who must consume it, whisked curd or buttermilk is preferred over thick curd, as it's lighter and easier to digest; individuals with asthma, allergies, or piles should be extra cautious.
