*Good to add a spoonful of ghee to black coffee to counter excess dryness

*Avoid coffee after 3 pm if you have disturbed sleep

*Avoid if going through menopause, skin diseases, restlessness

“Coffee has a lot of ‘rajas’ or activating energy. So, if you have lethargy, it’s good to have a cup in the morning between 8-10 am,” she mentioned.

*Avoid it as a mid meal drink as it can dampen the digestion and you won’t be hungry for your meal.
