Why A2 Dahi is an Ayurvedic Superfood for Cooling & Digestion?
In India, a meal feels incomplete without a bowl of dahi (curd) on the side. But beyond its comforting taste and texture, dahi has long been cherished in Ayurveda for its therapeutic properties, especially when it comes to cooling the body and aiding digestion. And when it’s made from A2 milk of indigenous cows, the benefits only multiply.
A2 Dahi is now making its way back into modern Indian homes for all the right reasons. Let’s explore what makes this humble fermented food an Ayurvedic superfood and how it can become a powerful ally in your daily diet.
What is A2 Dahi?
A2 Dahi is made from A2 milk, which is obtained from native Indian cow breeds like Gir, Sahiwal, and Tharparkar. These cows naturally produce A2 beta-casein protein, which is gentler on the gut compared to the A1 protein found in most commercial dairy products. When this milk is cultured into curd using traditional methods, it retains a wealth of nutrients and probiotics that benefit the entire digestive system.
Unlike processed curds that are often made from homogenised milk and synthetic cultures, farm-fresh A2 Dahi, like the one from Mr. Milk, is rich, wholesome, and truly natural.
The Cooling Power of A2 Dahi in Ayurveda:
According to Ayurveda, the body tends to accumulate heat (or pitta dosha) due to stress, spicy foods, environmental factors, or seasonal changes. Dahi, when prepared and consumed properly, helps balance this heat and provides a cooling effect on the body.
A2 Dahi, in particular, is sattvic in nature, meaning it promotes clarity, calmness, and balance. It cools the digestive tract, nourishes the tissues, and strengthens ojas, the life energy responsible for vitality and immunity.
🌿Tip: Feeling overheated or sluggish after a heavy meal? A bowl of farm-fresh A2 Dahi with jeera (cumin) powder and black salt can work wonders for your gut and mood.
Digestive Benefits of Desi Cow Dahi:
Here’s how A2 Dahi supports digestion from an Ayurvedic and nutritional standpoint:
- Promotes Healthy Gut Flora: Being naturally fermented, it contains live cultures (probiotics) that promote the growth of good bacteria in the intestine.
- Soothes the Stomach: The cooling nature of Desi Cow Dahi helps reduce acidity and inflammation in the digestive tract.
- Boosts Absorption: It enhances the assimilation of nutrients from other foods, making your overall diet more effective.
- Relieves Constipation: Regular intake of A2 Dahi can help regulate bowel movements without the need for laxatives.
🥄Pro tip: Try having a bowl of A2 Dahi with rice and a dash of ghee for a comforting, digestion-friendly lunch – a timeless Indian remedy for stomach troubles!
