Figs are sweet, pulpy fruits with a gentle laxative effect, commonly consumed fresh or dried. They are valued in Ayurveda for their sattvic quality and nourishing impact on tissues, especially when soaked or stewed. Rich in natural sugars, fiber, and essential minerals like potassium and calcium, figs support bowel movements, strengthen the heart, and replenish bodily tissues. They are ideal for people with dry constitution or depleted ojas, but should be consumed in moderation by Kapha types or in cases of high blood sugar.
