Pitta Diet during Healing?

[Guest guest]

Hi Onelove

 

I am preparing for my first liver cleanse, having purchased a colema

board for the colonic cleansing, and one concern is about using luke

warm tap water for the colonic - the instructions state that this is

ok but is there any risk of toxicity from impurities in the water? It

would be very difficult to boil 5 gallons of water with just one

small kettle!

 

I am also slightly confused about the diet to be eaten during the

healing process. The guidelines state that fruit juice, apples and

lemons should be avoided, but apple and lemon juice are part of the

preparation for the liver cleanse. The guidelines also state that

sweet fruit should be favoured - surely bananas are sweet when ripe

and yet these are in the avoid list? Also cooked onions and black

pepper are favoured for pitta, but I think you advise against these

on the basis of congestion?

 

I would be very grateful for your advice, as I realise that diet will

be critical to the success of the cleansing.

 

Many thanks

Hi Steve

 

Nice to hear from you again. I am glad you are moving

forward with this healing process. I use bottled water

when doing a colema. One gallon (3.78 liters) costs me

$1.20. Thats about 0.65 UK pounds.

 

I use about 3 to 5 gallons. I bring the water to body

temperature by putting it in four pots on a four

burner stove. I do not use tap water because it has

chlorine. I do not know the quality of the water where

you live, but bottled water is the best option

compared to boiling it.

 

According to the anti pitta (heat) ayurvedic food

list, sweet apples are in the favor group. Lemon and

grapefruit are in the avoid group. Grapefruit juice is

used in the liver cleanse which is an exception.

Grapefruit should not be part of your regular diet.

 

Although bananas are sweet in taste they are in the

avoid group because ayurveda classifies them as

heating in the stomach. Cooked onions are in the favor

group and raw onions are in the avoid group. Black

pepper is in the favor group but has a asterisk which

indicates it is to be eaten in moderation. I listed

black pepper not becasue of its congesting qualities

but becasue of its heating qualities.

 

Remember, once you have gone through the cleansing

process and no longer have the symptoms of rosacea,

you can then return to a much more liberal diet in

accord with your body type.

 

The purpose of the food guidelines are to accelerate

the cleansing and healing process. If you feel

inclined to eat something outside of the favor list on

occasion, then go ahead and enjoy what you want. The

food guidelines are guidelines and are not written in

stone. Intuition is your best guide.

 

Kind regards
