Guest guest Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Namaste, everyone - I have not posted in a long time, but have a question now. I have recently started eating dried goji berries because of their reputed health benefits, especially with immunity. I am a Vata/Pitta (almost even between the two, but my body looks very Vata) and have had a lot of trouble the last several months with catching the latest bug that goes around my daughter's preschool. In Oct, our whole family got sick 3 times. It's been better since Jan, when I started getting more rest and bolstering my system, but just a week ago found out about goji berries and decided to try them. My question is related to heat in my system - can goji berries tend to increase Pitta? Because I have a herpes outbreak now, and although it's possible that extra stress (and the resulting indulgence in extra chocolate) caused the outbreak, I just wanted to make sure that the goji berries weren't also possibly a problem with the herpes/increasing Pitta. It does seem to increase my energy and mental clarity - I have just in this last week become motivated to return to writing, which I haven't for a couple years. Additionally, I would like to become pregnant again and am hoping to conceive next month - are gojis going to be safe (and recommended) to eat during pregnancy? If so, how many per day? right now I'm consuming about 60. Thank you for your kind replies. Blessings, Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
