Dates increase Dosha? Since dates are cooling, are they bad for vata? Does the Guna change when you soak dry fruits and nuts? Dr JV Hebbar Dates – though coolant, also are heavy. Coldness increases Vata dosha, but heaviness decreases Vata dosha. Dates are sweet. Sweet taste balances Vata dosha. Sweetness and heaviness of dates overpower coldness to balance down Vata Dosha. So, though date palm is coolant, it balances Vata Dosha. We have to look into the taste, all the qualities of the herb before judging the herb’s effect on Dosha. Often in dry fruits and nuts, the nutrients are densely packed. Soaking fruits and nuts helps to spread out the nutrients in the medium of water. Qualities as per Bhojana Kutuhalam.
