Guest guest Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 "It's supposed to be a secret, but I'll tell you anyway. We doctors do nothing. We only help and encourage the doctor within." Albert Schweitzer, M.D. Dear Vinod, Nice of you to notice a small but very important missing detail. The doctors referred in above statement (brain) has analysed whole body chemistry during night, noted the doshas, prepared corrective tincture and kept already on the tongue. All that is needed is a little water to carry that tincture diluted to all parts upto bowels. My ALL patients take early morning ( 6 AM) medicine without brushing teeth, and brush afterwards since that medicine is Panch Gavya medicine having unpleasat taste. Many of them not aware that internal doctor is also treating them! Closer you go to nature, better health. Do animals brush teeth?

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Dr. Bhate, >All that is needed is a little water to carry that >tincture diluted to all parts upto bowels. Is drinking water in the morning without brushing the teeth recommended even for people who have lot of coating on the tongue? The general perception is that whatever is on the tongue (whitish coating) should be removed before we eat anything. Did I get it wrong all along? Thank you, venkat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Coating on tongue is due to unbalance in doshas. The coating reduces salivation, reduces food taste. Nature's message is " Reduce food, or observe fast"; or "Clean your digestive track, it is coated similarly". "And do not eat till coating on taste buds disappers by itself." These are the messages body is trying to convey. When mucous coating on GI track is depleted (ulceration), tongue coating also vanishes. we cant eat hot, spicy food cotaining chilly powder etc. Body's intelligence is protecting self by way of tongue coating. That is the reason we should not remove the coating. Signals such as bad odour, tongue coating, mucous flow throw nose, mouth etc are sinals from bodie's internal doctor; and what we do? we rush to prevent vomits, loose motions, excess perspiration etc. Suppression creates toxin dump inside body. Author urges his patients not to brush, so that he gets an opportunity to observe tongue coating if any. Tongue represents heart. Hence heart medicine (e.g. sorbitrate) is recommended to be put under tongue. It is unfortunate that by brushing tongue, one cant clean plaques in arteries. Tonsil, tongue, appendix are all bodies defence mechanisms. But our intelligence overrides natural safety devices. We should help body detoxify naturally. Even if you do not brush teeth before drinking Ushapan, no damage will occur. If you dislike coating remove it. You may recall a post on "coating on newborn skin" few months back. We are coming to know now that this particular coating is provided by super power for easy childbirth and protecting newborn skin from skin infections! Cant we think similarly for tongue coating. Everything comin out of body is not "bad", though it may be meant for elimination. If you study role of saliva in health, further clarity may emerge. Every animal mother licks her baby. We too. Are we passing on infections?

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Dr. Bhate, There is a yogic bathroom routine that includes removing the coating on the tongue. It would seem to me that one should definitely notice the coating on the tongue by checking in the mirror. However, yogis feel it is necessary to get rid of the coating, which contain bacteria. Especially necessary is to put the toothbrush farther down the throat to produce a gag reflex. This stimulates the "monkey glands", which are 2 pockets under the tongue in which bacteria collect. Often mucuous will come out of the monkey glands to be spit out. This site gives a more detailed explanation. Refer to the 2nd part. http://www.anahatabalance.com/yogalifestyle_daily_cleansing_practice.html#first GB Re: Ushapan without brushing teeth Coating on tongue is due to unbalance in doshas.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Dear Guru Bandhu Thanks for the informative link. This ia a cleansing procedure, similar or almost identical with Vaman kriya of Panchkarma. This is a must when a person is suffering from swellings, infection, soreness in throat, mouth etc. Even those who do not have these problems can do it if they get constant mucous oozing in the throat, requiring clearing the throat every 10-15 minutes. These oozings are signs that our immune system is active and lymph system has created something for excreation. But cleansing procedure and ushapana are slightly different. Ushapana main objective is to hydrate thirsty body in the morning, i.e. why name Usha comes in. Author recommends the Vaman procedure for cleaning acidic pool in stomach, for cleaning mucosa of food pipe, throat etc. but without use of brush. Three middle fingers (index, middle, ring) when rubbed on deep parts of tongue all the action mentioned in the link referred by you takes place and munky glands too get cleaned. Often, Vaman kriya is prescribed by this author after Ushapana of warm salty water. Ayurveda suggests some herbal tea too, so that cleansing is more thorough. But simple Ushapana with copper or other magical waters has a different objective. This objective does not need that teeth be brushed. Sticky mucosa get dissolved in ushapan water to some extent so that elimination is simplified, and bacteria are already present everywhere in body. In cancer patients, often the coating on the tongue is so bitter that they do not even feel taste of any food item. This happens for several fevers too. Does everyone keeps brushing teeth for cleaning the bitterness. Drink water and let the natural medicine of the body travel through GI track. dr bhate ayurveda, Guru Khalsa <greatyoga wrote: > > Dr. Bhate, > > There is a yogic bathroom routine that includes removing the coating on the tongue.
