oil tests for suitability, probiotics

[Guest guest]

The ayurveda recognises that each individual is different. Though

everyone born in florida has been nourished by same soil and

environment, still people can be different in prakruti. Based on

these considerations, acharyas have given certain tests to decide

suitability of each food, climate, herb for individual.

 

Most of the info provided by this author on coconut oil was based on

the info given by a public body on coconut dvelopment, added by

authors experience:

The tests on oils are given by this author, as communicated to him by

his Guru at:

 

http://health.ayurveda/message/3055

 

Author carried out the burning test and heat stability test on both

olive oil and coconut oil and found that it is difficult to decide

which oil is better. Based on " local food is best for locals " , author

prefers coconut oil over olive oil, since the best fat in the

world " cow ghee " is very difficult to get for common man. For cooking

medium, massage, dressing coconut oil seems best for south indians,

while olive oil may be more acceptable to westerners or people beyond

tropics.

 

It is interesting that while oils loose medical benifits after

heating, cow milk increases its medical usefulness by conversion to

higher forms such as butter, ghee etc. Nutritions is of course best

in raw milk. Ayurveda offers medicines for nervous system, endocrine

problems made in cow ghee, so that they have more sharpness and bio-

availability. Shat dhout ghee is specially good for thrush and wound

healing.

 

But the suggestion of using probiotics for thrush is inexpensive,

convenient and more focussed. But instead of using processed or

vaccum dried lactobasilus powder, author prefers to use live culture

from yoghurt, specially prepared with application to anti-biotic

damage cure. For vaginal candidiasis, this has a proven success in

author's practice, albeit bit slow. Instead of " leave overnight "

tablets of probiotic culture, a handmade cotton pessary containing

thick yoghurt gives better result. For very stubborn yeast infection,

it takes about 10-12 days of application.

Dear Dr. Bhate;

 

Just read your link with more flavors of India life, inspiring to much

more natural experience!

 

With so many cases here of thrush and candida, this Shat dhout ghee

would be valuable to be able to prepare. Some of us have learned to

make a few tailams and ghritas, but lack recipes such as this

- specially good for thrush and wound healing.

I am wondering if the ingredients are available to us in the states.

Would you mind sharing more on this?

 

Namaste, and Happy Divali!

Dear Ysha

 

Wonderful! The procedure to make shat dhout ghrit you asked once and

was provided to you in connection with nursing mothers with systemic

candida:

Perhaps problem with too much info, writing notes, training material,

managing group, babies, moms etc etc? Take some help from group

members. Though group ios small, it is providing very important

discussions.
