What Raisins Actually Do To Your Body
Did you know that the humble and simple raisin is actually an amazingly nourishing food and medicine? Like any food that you eat, it has a unique energetic effect on your body.
Please read on to really get to know what raisins actually do to your body, from the perspective of ancient healing knowledge systems (including Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine) as well as modern scientific studies.
You can also find a new recipe featuring Raisins as a delicious sweet treat that is healthy, and so nourishing, a Raisin and Jaggery Jam.
What Raisins Actually Do To Your Body
The energetic effect of raisins on the human body is moistening, tonifying, and generally cool in temperature. The taste profile is predominantly sweet and can be slightly astringent or sour.
In most instances, raisins are generally considered cooling and if they are eaten in balanced quantities they do not have an extreme temperature effect on your body.
In Ayurveda, these are regarded as a good tridoshic food , balanced and compatible with all 3 doshas. They are regarded as a Rasayana, which is a classification for highly rejuvenative foods and herbs. Raisins nourish Ojas which is the essence of our bodily tissues responsible for vitality and immunity.
The dominant sweetness of raisins is indicative that this is a plant that is nourishing, strengthening, rebuilding, promotes growth of bodily tissues, and as mentioned it generally has a moistening effect on the body.
In TCM raisins are said to be Yin nourishing, meaning they can be gently cooling, nourishing, fluid building, calming, and expansive.
Look, these ancient healing systems aren’t some new-age trend. Ayurveda and traditional medicine have been around for thousands of years—way before anyone even knew America existed. And here’s what blows my mind: our ancestors didn’t have pharmacies, yet they survived, thrived, and knew exactly which plants to use for what.
All of that wisdom? It’s been collected into one massive wellness guide. We’re talking about remedies that might sound weird to you now, but they’ve worked for centuries. Click here to see what I’m talking about.
And honestly, these are the exact protocols medicinal mushrooms that have been used in Ayurvedic medicine forever are now, some being approved by Western medicine for cancer treatment. Yeah, you read that right, the big C.

Health and Healing Benefits of Raisins
Alongside all the wonderful ancient knowledge, it has been found that raisins contain many beneficial phyto constituents. These are just a few of the many health benefits you can gain from including raisins in your diet
- Raisins are a well known digestive aid, improving digestive function and gut microbiome.
- Raisins may contribute to reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.
- They can be used for dealing with fatigue and general debility
- Raisins are actually good for your teeth, it was found that they can help prevent oral caries.
- Raisins are a nutritive that promotes general wellness.
Here’s the thing though, and I need you to hear this, natural doesn’t automatically mean “eat as much as you want.”
Too many raisins? You’re loading up on sugar. Wrong dose of an herb? You could actually make things worse. This stuff matters.
I didn’t learn how to use herbal remedies from some random TikTok influencer trying to go viral with clickbait health hacks. I learned directly from real herbalists who’ve been doing this for decades. People who actually know what they’re talking about.
Because let’s be real: your health is too important to trust to someone chasing views and likes. You need guidance that’s been tested, proven, and passed down through generations… not whatever’s trending this week.

DIY Recipe: Raisin and Jaggery Jam
This is a delicious jam made from 2 deeply nourishing key ingredients. Wonderful nourishing raisins and mineral-rich jaggery (unrefined pure cane sugar). It is also super cost effective, and so simple to prepare.
Ingredients
- 1 Cup + 1/2 Cup Hot Water
- 2 Cup of Raisins
- ½ Cup of Jaggery
- 2 – 3 Pieces of Lemon Zest
Step by Step
- Measure out 2 cups of raisins and 1 cup of hot water.
- Add this water to the raisins.
- Measure out ½ cup of jaggery and ½ cup of hot water.
- Add the water to the jaggery.
- Allow everything to rest for at least 1 hour or longer.
- In the meantime, cut a few thin strips of lemon zest.
- Add the zest to your soaking jaggery.
- After 1 hour, or more, get ready to add everything to a pot.
- Add your soaked raisins with the water, and your jaggery mix all into the pot.
- Heat on low, cover, and cook as slowly as possible.
- Check on your pot frequently, stirring about every 5 minutes.
- Cooking until the raisins are soft and falling apart and the liquid has slightly thickened ( takes around 30 minutes). Keep a close eye on the pot all the time so you don’t burn this naturally sugary mix.
- At this point you can bottle your chunky jam as is, you may also choose to blend it if you want a smoother jam.
- Transfer to a clean sealable jar.
- Enjoy this as a delicious and nutritious snack in any way you would use jam. I love it best on bread or crackers.
Suggested Use
Add this jam as filling in or on bread, as a topping on oats or any porridge. You may also add it to other baked goods and get creative.
It is very nourishing and also contains lots of natural sugars so obviously it is to be eaten in reasonable quantities. As always, carefully consider and observe the effectiveness of any new food or herb according to your individual constitution and unique body.
Try your best to source high quality raisins that have no additional additives and pure jaggery.
