Curd in Summer: Ayurvedic Guide to Benefits, Risks & Right Consumption

• Curd is beneficial in summer for cooling and digestion, but Ayurveda specifies strict consumption rules.
• Consume curd with lunch, preferably churned (buttermilk), and with sweet honey or khand, avoiding salt.
• Avoid curd at night as it can cause heaviness, gas, or acidity; do not eat it directly from the fridge.
• Not recommended for those with cold, cough, kapha-related issues, acne, or skin allergies.
• Beneficial for individuals with good digestion, high physical labor, or those feeling weak.
