Guest guest Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 There is sour taste and there is sour taste - this is one of my favorite subjects and I will post some ideas on the general subject of Pitta dosha and its harm in human life and affairs after few days. Generally speaking we must analyze what are the major issues in sexual malfunction to begin with. ´ For both men and women - excess heat, ama, and upward moving apana vayu are the culprits in most cases - this is the reason that substances such as shatavari are so useful for womens sexual malfunctions - all of these issues are related - example apana vayu will move up when its downward movement is impeded by congested heat in lower regions - and vise a versa - upward moving apana vayu will leave the lower regions vulnerable to stagnation of vata, pitta, and kapha. One anecdote - in my youth our servant always advised us boys to take limewater (with sugar)twice a day to relieve sexual pressure of youth - when my father found this out he was very angry as he always talked against these methods of dealing with issues. His approach to unhealthy sexual pressures was to create sattvic condition to cool the organs therefore making the sexual function more natural and controllable. And he always said "how can one counteract pitta with more pitta or rajas with more rajas it is not intelligent". Amalaki is a balanced dosha substance which does not disturb pitta dosha it is as a matter of fact one of the best substances for reducing excess pitta dosha especially when combined with other pitta reducing substances - this is why Triphala is one of the worlds most effective medicines for balancing all doshas - Triphala removes the excess pitta dosha in the intestines by helping to reverse the upward moving apana vayu - one of the most common issues in us all. This is also the reason why substances like Chavanaprasham are useful for so many because they are balanced in their ability to stabalise all dosha functions - even when the individual might be taking excess dosha imbalanceing substances. Great minds have analysed all of these issues long before and the study of balancing Pitta dosha is one of the secrets of human success - especially for those of us with Pitta prakruti. Lord Krishna has a sublime comment on this subject which I will go into later. Also for those of us who are devotees of the Lord His admonitions take precedence over all others as He is the ultimate authority of human existance. Gita is a guide book for life that Ayurvedic scriptures can only confirm and make comment on - they do not supercede ever. My father said on this subject - Gita and Vedas supported by Ayurvedic texts give mankind everything necessary for health and happiness. This is also my experience. The great advantage to this approach is that it is an emperical system that can and must be tested and varified by each individual - such as the validity of sour taste and its potential for seperating us from our true self.
