छागमांस
Chhaga (Goat) meat is one of the most commonly recommended meats in Ayurveda. It is considered Satmya (wholesome) for most people. Goat meat is lighter than mutton/sheep meat. It is sweet, slightly unctuous, cooling and nourishing. It does not significantly aggravate any dosha and is particularly good in bleeding disorders and fever. It strengthens the body and is easily digestible compared to other red meats. Goat meat is recommended in general debility, convalescence and as a nutritive food. Verses: 12-14.
