Dadimavaleha is
an Ayurvedic herbal paste or jam (avaleha) primarily used as a digestive aid and tonic. The name is derived from dadima, the Sanskrit word for pomegranate, which is the main ingredient.
Benefits and uses

- Aids digestion: It helps balance Pitta dosha and provides relief from hyperacidity, indigestion, and nausea, including morning sickness during pregnancy.
- Improves appetite: The formulation is known to stimulate digestive enzymes and improve one's desire to eat.
- Increases hemoglobin: Pomegranate is rich in iron, and the herbal blend is thought to improve the absorption of iron, helping to address iron-deficiency anemia.
