DESCRIPTION

Plant Profile
Salvia hispanica, commonly called Chia, is an annual plant from the mint family (Lamiaceae). It grows to about 1 to 1.7 meters in height. The stems are square in shape, and the leaves grow in opposite pairs. These leaves have serrated edges and are lightly covered with fine hairs. Small purple or white flowers appear at the top of the stems in tight spikes.
The seeds are the most valued part of the plant. They are tiny, oval, and marked with black, brown, and white patterns. When placed in water, the seeds swell and form a soft, gel-like coating. Chia is native to central and southern Mexico and Guatemala, where it was an important food for Aztec and Mayan cultures. In India, it is cultivated mainly in Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.

Healthcare Perspective
Chia is a relatively recent addition to Ayurvedic use when compared to traditional Indian herbs. In modern practice, it is used mainly as a nourishing food. It is described as Balya, meaning it supports strength, and Brimhana, meaning it helps build and nourish body tissues. Because of its oily and heavy nature, it is considered helpful for calming Vata when taken in moderation.
In traditional medicine of Central America, Chia was known as a “running food.” It was eaten to provide steady energy during long physical activity. Today, in holistic health practices, Chia seeds are commonly used to support digestion because of their high fiber content. They are also included in diets aimed at maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. When soaked, the seeds provide a cooling and hydrating effect. Other non-traditional uses include applying Chia seed oil to dry skin and using the soaked seeds to gently soothe the digestive system.

Phytochemical Composition
Chia seeds are rich in nutrients and natural plant compounds. A major feature of the seeds is their high omega-3 fatty acid content. Most of this fat is alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which makes up about 60 percent of the total oil. The seeds also contain large amounts of dietary fiber, both soluble and insoluble.
In addition, Chia provides plant-based protein with all essential amino acids. The seeds contain antioxidant compounds such as chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, myricetin, quercetin, and kaempferol. They are also a good source of minerals, including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and manganese. Together, these nutrients explain why Chia is widely used today as a functional food in global wellness practices.
