Munakka(Raisin) Benefits in Ayurveda
Munakka possesses cold potency and is beneficial for conditions such as constipation, eye disorders, malnutrition, and indigestion.
It is also effective in relieving sore throat (after washing with hot water to remove pesticides), excessive thirst, dry mouth, and anorexia.
According to Ayurveda, munakka is helpful in managing chronic fever, breathlessness, jaundice, vertigo, and underweight issues.
How and how many munakka Eat in a Day
In constipation: Soak 10-15 munakka in water overnight with sharkara (sugar) and consume it along with the water in the morning. This helps relieve chronic constipation.
For underweight: Consume 15-20 munakka with 5 dates twice daily along with hot milk or water to promote weight gain.
For eye disease: Eating 5 munakka with ghee at night is beneficial for improving eyesight.
In jaundice: Munakka consumed with sugarcane juice is effective in alleviating general weakness during jaundice.
Excessive thirst: Soak munakka in water, grind it, and strain the mixture. Drinking this preparation helps quench excessive thirst.
Munakka with milk
It is preferable to consume munakka with water instead of milk if it has a sour taste.
If munakka is sweeter and no or less sour then it is taken with hot milk at night to overcome constipation.
Hot milk combined with soaked munakka and ghee is beneficial for addressing underweight issues in children.
Health benefits of Munakka
Munakka has antioxidant properties due to its content of carotenes, lutein, tannins, flavonoids, and catechin.
It helps alleviate conditions such as constipation, anorexia, hyperacidity, and false thirst.
Munakka is particularly beneficial for geriatric issues, including improved eyesight, prevention of hair whitening, and reduction of wrinkles.
It is highly effective for anemia as it enhances appetite and improves nutrient absorption in the digestive system.
Due to its antioxidant and rejuvenating chemical compounds, munakka supports both skin and hair health.
Munakka can also be incorporated into your daily routine as a high-energy snack or morning breakfast in the form of a granola bar made with dates, munakka, almonds, and apricots.
