According to Ayurveda, ghevar consists of both vatta and pitta. Thus, it helps in calming the mind in the body. That’s why ghevar is prepared during the month of July-August-September because these months are predominated with vatta and pitta, and this causes acidity and dryness in the body. So, eating ghevar is beneficial for health.
