Guest guest Posted August 9, 2001 Report Share Posted August 9, 2001 Dear Peela, Excellent post on this..............Love Penny The problem I have with capsules is you dont get to taste the herb. Now with some things, that may not be important, but with many, I think it is a huge advantage for the body to register frist from the tongue what is about to be dumped into the stomach. I mean with bitter tonics, it is well known that a large part of the healing happens BECAUSE of the taste reflex. There is a place for capsules, but I like to taste even the not so good tasting herbs. We have all become so soft, dont like icky tastes, but I think its good for us, and an important part of healing. In Chinese and Ayurvedic cultures, they recommend we get all the tastes at each meal, but in our culture, we dont like much besides sweet sour and salty. We are wimpy! my 2 cents love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
