Vinegar - Sattvic / Rajasic / Tamasic??

[Guest guest]

Now that summer's coming up, I have a question about the yogic light summer

diet.

 

Is vinegar damaging to the body at all? I eat alot of salads in the summer with

a homemade vinegar/mustard/olive oil dressing, and wonder if it has any negative

affects on the joints, lightness of body etc. in such daily quantities.

 

Sat Nam,

Dear Krishan Shiva Kaur,

 

HA! You've kind of stumped me on this one...

 

I vaguely recall Yogi Ji having said that

enough vinegar STOPS the digestive process,

so I don't know that it would be such a great

idea to use vinegar and oil dressing, especially

every day. However, if the diet includes

specific recipes with measured quantities,

logic would suggest that you'll be OK.

 

If n recipes, I'd just go easy on the vinegar...

I have been taking a tablespoon of oil and vinigar (already mixed) just

before I start sadhana. I use a nutrient oil. I usually try to avoid

drinking water too. I learned this at teacher training when I got

constipated drinking quarts of the stuff they give you to keep you from

becoming dehydrated because of the high altitude in New Mexico. I feel less

awake when my bowel don't move. They actually move plenty, but I just feel

better with a constant flow. It is solid, but floats. This way I have a

bowel movement right after Sadhana. In Chinese medicine, the at is the

large intenstines and lung time.

 

The vinegar and oil mixture is a bit hard on my throat so I am having second

thoughts. I am using Bragg's vinigar with the mother. Maybe I'll dilute it

more. I also have been doing an occasional vinigar and water douche and I

rinse my hair with vinigar. So I really like the stuff. I wonder why? I

don't have to use any hair product if I just shampoo with baby shampoo and

then rinse with diluted vinegar. I am wary of commercial products and I

feel that my skin likes it. I think it has something to do with the Ph

level. If my vaginal wall is in good shape, all of my skin feels great.

This vinegar and oil gets the colon moving. I was taught this at teacher

training, so it must be yogic??? You are probably right. I shouldn 't use

it all the time. Too much of anything is not good.

Dear Krishan, White vinegar is damaging. Apple cider vinegar is healthy.

There have even been books written about the benefits of

apple-cider-vinegar. Most popularly taken with honey. - - - 1 tbsp

vinegar, 1tbsp honey into an 8 oz glass of water - upon rising and can be

drunk throughout the day. - The proportions can be changed according to

your preferance. -- Very refreshing in Summer. -- Supposed to also help

digestion etc. etc. ---- Just stay away from white vinegar and anything

made with it. Ruth

Rolling Thunder (Shoshone Shaman) took slices of onion and cider vinegar

everyday. He swore by it. But if you have a Vata imbalance, creaky

joints and bloating being just 2 indications of such, you want to avoid

anything that has been fermented. That's includes bread (yeast) and even

tofu. You need to determine some things about your constitution and so

may be you want to learn about the Doshas (Kapha, Pitta, Vatta). Do a

search or but a book. Good authors are David Frawley, Robert Svoboda,

and Vasant Lad, to mention a few.

Go organic in whatever choice you make.
