    January 23, 2024 1 min read

    Grapes are called Draksha in Sanskrit and Angur in Hindi. 

    The Ayurvedic text mentioned two varieties of draksha, harita (green) and krishna (black).

    The dried fruit of draksha are known as raisins. Charaka has categorised draksha as snehopaga (oleating), virechanopaga (adjunct to purgation), Kasahara (anti cough) and jvarahara (fever reducing). 

    The Ayurvedic properties are sweet, sour, cold, unctuous and alleviates Vata and Pitta.

    Their actions are laxative, aphrodisiac, diuretic, and anabolic.

    Enjoy your Draksha while in season.

    We do store organic dried raisin in the Lakshmi shop.

    We wish you a beautiful Sunday 

    With love your Lakshmi Ayurveda team
