"Vipak"

Vipak is a concept from Ayurvedic medicine that describes the post-digestive effect of food or herbs. After consumption, food is broken down and absorbed, and Vipak reflects the resulting taste and energy exerted by this process. It influences how the body feels and responds afterward, affecting digestion, metabolism, and overall balance. Different foods and herbs produce different Vipaks—some lingering calming, others invigorating—contributing to your overall health and well-being. Understanding Vipak helps tailor diet and herbal choices to support individual balance and health goals.
