6 Powerful Pomegranate Based Home Remedies!

Keep calm and grow magic pomegranates

Molly Ringle

Happy November! Fall is a time to take a hint from nature and slow down as the weather gets cooler and night comes sooner. It’s also a time when one of the most nutrient-dense fruits is in season: pomegranates! There are sweet and sour varieties of pomegranates. From an Ayurvedic perspective, the sweet variety eliminates pitta, while the sour variety eliminates vata and kapha. You may have seen these antioxidant-rich fruits at the supermarket and opted to purchase ones that are already peeled, but did you know the entire fruit has health benefits? Keep reading and we’ll tell you how to use the whole fruit (and parts of the plant!) so that nothing goes to waste and your health may flourish.
