Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Hi Brena & Bonnie, Sorry it took so long to get back to you, I have been out of town. I studied Ayurveda five years ago at the California Collage of Ayurveda in Grass Valley. Since then I have continued my studies in this field adding Medical Astrology from an Eastern point of view. I run a small practice out of my home in Auburn, Northern CA, while working full time at a large health store. In the United States there is no licensing for Ayurveda and probably never will be in my life time. So, to refer to your self as a 'Doctor' could be construed as practicing medicine without a license. Bonnie - Yes! Coriander and Fennel and Cumin are dry herbs that you can get at a well stocked health food store in the bulk herb section which you should cook into your food. And yes, the physical and psychological is connected. I have read over three hundred e-mails since I got home, so if the next part does not refer to you, please ignore it. If you're having pain under your right ribs it could be your liver or gall bladder that is giving you trouble, and you should stay away from anything that stimulates it (including Milk Thistle / Silymarin). Amalaki (which you can get at Banyan Botanicals online) is a better choice for building tissue. You can't detoxify all the time; you must give everything a break! There's a rule; Called the rule of sixes; which is: Take something for six days, and take a day off! Six weeks, take a week off! Six months, take a month off! This is to give your body a chance to acclimate back to its primordial constitution. If you're having pain under your left ribs you're most likely have a pancreas problem. Although your spleen is located here also, chances are with your other symptoms there is no problem here. Try some Enzymes complexes, and a high protein diet with maybe some pro-biotics, like in yogurt It's not a bad idea to read up on Ayurveda so you can get an idea of where you're heading. David Frawley; founder of the American Institute of Vedic Studies, has the best correspondence course out there if your interested. Be careful, the search for health can support the illness........ Brena, like I said, I live in Auburn which may be in your neck of the woods ..Bless you all! Noel..... PS. I'm not crazy about diagnosis and prescribing online. People are more complex then this and I can't do you justice: but if you're not in my neck of the woods and don't have an experienced practitioner near by, I guess this is better then nothing........
