Navin Guda
नवीनगुडः
New jaggery (Nava Guda / freshly prepared jaggery) is described as heavy, difficult to digest, Kapha-increasing, and potentially promoting worm infestation. It should be avoided by those with weak digestion, Kapha disorders, and worm-prone constitutions. New jaggery is unctuous and increases blood and muscle tissue but at the cost of heaviness and Kapha vitiation. The text strongly recommends using old jaggery instead of new jaggery for both daily use and therapeutic purposes. Verse 27.
