Dear Acharyaji

 

Learning, understanding and practicing ayurveda of Samhitas is one end,

while practicing " Home " ayurveda by way of home remedies, folk remedies

is another. all those who originated home remedies either tried by

some " hunch " or had " gift " of lord.

 

Second point is understanding healing principles as against ayurveda of

samhitas are two different entities. Many a time Vaidyas are confused

by approaches of " yogis " , for instance the controversy on use of large

dose of Godanti Bhasma and Praval Pishti (proposed by Baba Ramdev on

TV) created by " Rasvaidya Gunjan Thakur " on ayurveda list. Such

large dose has been used by this author frequently for a short while

without any damage. see :

http://health.ayurveda/message/7272

 

Let us now turn to your question. Baba Ramdev is right, milk is

incompatbile with salt as well as Jaggery. This author has used both

these incompatibilities for curing dry cough in children, a live

example of which is available on ayurveda with patient's

testimonial too!

The approach surprised a Canadian herbalist of good repute and

author of a good book too! He also thought milk is an allergen.

Allergen treating and curing allergy! Is not villagers remedies more

wonderful than all neat and systematic theories of ayurveda? Let us see

how these work.

 

In a number of posts on ayurveda, author has brought out

exceptions in ayurveda, e.g. Green unripe Tamarind is a pitta enhancer

while ripened soaked tamarind pacifies pitta. Just as a grandma is

soothing to a child when mother is angry! Same thing true for unripe

green mango and ripened sweet mango. Maturity changes guna of a herb.

Battering against odds in life makes man too satvik, soul seeking

rather than material seeking.

 

Let us come to familar ground of chamelion science. Milk, after boiling

with ginger powder+turmeric for 20-30 minutes, after adding 1 tsp ghee

does not remain the milk which causes allergy, or one which has typical

fats and proetins of raw milk. Now most fats and proteins have

absorbed " agni " by boiling and the " casein " in milk is now easily

digestible. If you actyually do this experiemnet, you will see that

milk does not show the same behaviour after adding ghee and just 2

pinches of salt, as it would show if it was not boiled with ginger+turmeric for

a long time and ghee added. The milk boiled becomes almost " basundi " .

Here, when apparently incompatible substances are added a " poison " is

produced and on homeopathic principle of " likes " destroys poison

trapped inside the mucous, the dead bodies of allergens.

 

True, milk and salt is " virudh " but the presence of other items and

boiling now reduces there " enemity " so milk does not separate from

whey. On the other hand this mixture breaks/dilutes solid mucous in

digestive track, which body was " coughing " to remove.Acc. to Indian philosophy,

when people sit together in presence of " agni " , all become friendly and decide

to remain life time friends. It is only in India that marriages are formalized

in presence of " agni " . There is so much similarity in our all customs and

ayurvedic procedures.

 

Incidently, it is to be noted that in the case of 2.5 year boy refered

in above ayurveda messages, instead of milk, jaggery was used. In

case of children jaggery is better while edlers, salt should be used.

This is all " Grandma ayurveda " not from standard texts. One more kindness of God

needs to mentioned. Sept. October is the period of " Pitta " diseases. It is also

the season when Guava is available plenty in hot regions of India. Use of Guava

for attacking Migrain caused by heat, see the tribal remedy at:

http://health.ayurveda/message/1530

 

God has provided natural single herb or fruit remedies very near to the

diseases, which tribals and grandmas understand well and we only notice why

Gunjan Thakur, Bhate and Baba Ramdev preach differently.
