Guest guest Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Dear Todd This points out to the difficulties in applying spiri of ayurveda principles globally, but one has to searh similarities and this kind of exchange of info is really useful to understand other side of globe. Thanks for Rosemary information. It is also interesting to know that like indian cow, Tulsi also likes sunlight. More sunlight, better growth, especially that of black colored breed of Tulsi. For medicine purpose this variety is more preferred. This variety believed to generat ozone by photosynthesis. Its holiness (satva guna) may be attributable to this property. May be Rosemary too displays such characteristics. Just as yogurt stored in fridge may become more "kapha" enhancer, and a pepper soup taken hot will become more Pitta enhancer, in the same way, the substances whose properties were classified by ancient acharyas in India may strengthen or weaken certain gunas, when taken in extreme cold climates of arctic regions. Milk allergies may get enhanced when one goes from Chennai to Toronto. The preference to local plants and food requires emphasis.
