Guest guest Report post Posted November 1, 2002 Sriyani, Start by making sure you don't drink liquid of any kind while eating or after. Drink 20 minutes or so before you eat. This will actually strengthen your digestive fire. Liquid taken with food will dilute your stomach acids. Also, citrus is good 20 minutes before a meal. Just before you eat do Sitali** breath 108 times. This will relax your digestive system and especially balance any emotional connections one is having about eating. When eating, make sure to chew well, especially grains. You may want to avoid any foods that exacerbate Vatta. Afterward, digestion is helped by Rock pose (sitting on your heels and doing right nostril breathing). I wonder, too, are your joints creaky? Tell me more about basic physical structure.

Guest guest Report post Posted November 2, 2002 Dear dear Dharma Thank you ever so much. Yes, my joints - specially the knees get stiff quite often. I cannot kneel it hurts and having my knees bent for longer periods. My daughter always tells me to chew my food properly - to relax when eating. So now I got it. Yes, I tend to drink a lot of water just after eating.

Guest guest Report post Posted November 2, 2002 Dharam, Sat nam. Could you explain why creaky joints and poor digestion are related? I am quite curious. With gratitude, Shiv Antar Kaur I wonder, too, are your joints creaky? Tell me more about basic physical structure. Sat Nam, Dharam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted November 3, 2002 Sat Nam Leo Thank you - my hoemopath tried giving me various tabs, but nothing worked. I will keep the name you mentioned with me and ask her if she did prescribe this for me - as I cannot remember.

Guest guest Report post Posted November 3, 2002 Sat Nam Shiv Antar Kaur (CC: Sriyani), Issues of bloatedness indicate a possibility of a Vatta imbalance but the presence of creaky joints pretty nails it down. This is Ayurveda 101. Vatta relates to the air/wind element. It is movement that is drying in it's overall effect and so her joints will have "air" and there will be a lack of lubrication. her skin will be dry and her nerves made be sensitive or raw. Her diet and habits need to be of a such that pacifies Vatta. She cannot take foods that cause any gas. Fermented foods such as vinegar and breads (yeast fermentation) are definitely out. Soy may also be out. I don't remember the list, but if you can stick to it you will feel results in a very short time. Western culture, in general, is very conducive to Vatta problems. The ways are many. For a bigger discussion (5 minute read) please go to http://www.ayurveda.com/info/ayurintro.htm or any of a number of links (do a search) for Ayurveda and you will be feeding your understanding and your Soul, I am not too shy to say. Seeing yourself from the perspective of Nature is in its essence very freeing. There is a very nice and short description of the 3 Doshas (or faults). Ayurveda and Yoga are flipsides of the same coin. Yoga balances the body, Ayurveda covers just about everything else. I know I didn't say that right but if you will "go out of your way" and look into this system will know what I am trying to say. Any books by David Frawley, Robert Svoboda's books on Ayurveda or Vasant Lad would be good. Svoboda has a trilogy on Kundalini but they're way out there for the "novice".
