When the scorching heat of summer arrives, our bodies naturally crave foods that provide relief and hydration. Among the treasures of traditional Indian culinary wisdom, one sweet treat stands out not just for its delectable taste, but for its remarkable cooling properties: Tikhur. While you might be familiar with various summer coolers, understanding the unique benefits of Tikhur can transform how you approach summer wellness.

What is Tikhur?

Tikhur, also known as East Indian Arrowroot (Curcuma angustifolia), is a starch extracted from the rhizomes of the plant. Native to the Indian subcontinent, it has been used for centuries in Ayurveda and traditional medicine for its soothing and cooling properties. Unlike refined starches, Tikhur retains much of its natural goodness, making it a wholesome addition to your diet.

2. Gentle on Digestion

Summer often brings sluggish digestion. Tikhur is incredibly light and easy to digest. It acts as a soothing agent for the gastrointestinal tract, providing relief from acidity, heartburn, and mild stomach upsets.

3. Energy Booster

Despite being light on the stomach, these traditional treats are a wonderful source of sustained energy. They are often consumed during fasting periods (Vrat) precisely because they provide the necessary calories and keep you feeling full without causing sluggishness.

4. Hydration Support

While they are solid foods, the starch helps the body retain water, preventing dehydration—a critical benefit during the peak summer season.
