Hi, i've been reading on ayurveda for a couple of weeks, before I was on a typical american diet, except I didn't drink sodas or excess junk food, I also didnt eat fast food except maybe once a week... I determined I had an agitated vatta balance or w/e so I've been eating foods according to those guidelines for 2 days, I still only have a bowel movement maybe once every 3 days... Anyway today was a real shock, because just after I started eating like this I experienced something i've never had before, I went to the sink to get rid of mucus in my throat, which has been a problem for awhile, and when I was done I felt a sore on the tip of my tongue, I looked and there was a relatively deep crack, I did some research all I could find was geographic tongue, but the rest of my tongue is smooth (except coated with white sometimes because I think I have a candida overgrowth)... Anyway I intend to do a colon cleanse and a eat a lot better but here's some questions:
Will my tongue fissure ever heal?
If I can't steam "fresh" vegetables, are canned ones cooked on the stove O.K?
How much olive oil/ghee should I consume daily, im very skinny for being 6'7" tall (weigh 180lbs) and I have dry skin btw, so i'm trying to add fat,
Should I be working out during this 'diet'/cleanse
What do you guys think about the "master cleanse", which consists of lemon water with cayenne pepper and daily morning sea salt bowel flushes
a little background: im 17 years old, can't go all natural in the city im in, and overall an inexperienced naturopath, I have acne breakouts really bad right now, it seems to be getting worse everyday ive been on 'healthy' food, but the WORST problem is my stomach growls CONSTANTLY just before I get out of school, and overall it just growls alot, theres not much pain, it's just really loud and embarassing
I think that's it, all help appreciated!
edit: im also eating 3 times as much food as normal these past 2 days, especially today, i havent stopped eating, might this be a sign of parasites not getting what they want or something?
