Question on cold Milk & Mucous Please Advise!!

[Guest guest]

Hare Krishna and Hello to Everyone,

 

Recently in the news (America) it has been stated by medical " experts "

that it's untrue cold milk will product mucous. Now I myself do not

believe these so called experts for one minute. In part because my own

experience with self, children, husband, drinking milk when coming

down with a cold etc, then the mucous would increase right before my

eyes. And in part cuz I am a strong believer in Ayurveda which teaches

cold milk should not be taken when ill (or at all really) as it will

increase mucous (probably other problems as well).

 

So my questions is: Does anyone out there who knows Ayurveda and

allopathic medicine, can you provide me with some medical evidence

that they are wrong about cold milk 'not' producing mucous?

 

Namaste,

Priitaa

Dear Priita

Milk is termed as Swastha hitakara Dravya in Ayurveda. That means though it has

characteristic similarity of mucus it will not increase mucous in the person

who is not suffering from disease. Hence the person who is suffering from

disease esp. due to Kafa dosha the milk should be restricted.

 

The diagestion of milk has to be considered for it's ability to produce mucus.

 

I have treated a child just by restricting milk intake. The said child was

suffering from recurrent cough and expectoration. X ray chest was done many

times showing patches

 

? Pneumonic and received Allopathic treatment for the same.

 

The said child used to drink milk about 750ml per day which was very difficult

to get digested properly at his age. This etiology was causing production of

excessive Kafa in lungs.

 

[ I think lungs are the natural way for the body to expel excessive mucous ]

 

I have restricted his milk intake in toto and with out any medicine child was

cured.

 

According to my experience Pitta prakruti person digest milk more easily.

Whenever milk is not digested properly it acts as a poison [ causing many

diseases] but when it gets properly digested it acts as Amruta[elixir].

 

I request you to see my web site and see case study no. 1 in which I have given

explanation of the relation between milk and constipation.
