Guest guest Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 I made a smoothie/lassi type of a drink the other day and want to get input of food combo and if it seems appropriate postpartum. I used about 1/4 c. canned coconut milk, 1/2 c. water, banana, some mango and a pinch of powdered ginger. no ice or anythig frozen here of course. Also, I was wondering if milk is appropriate to use when a person has candida or a yeast infection? I read in one Ayurvedic book it was but want to be sure. Thanks, Sonya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Hello sonya, According to ayurveda, milk+fruit combination is viruddha (toxic), but using coconut milk is really a good option. Adding ginger make sense, because it will balance kapha without increasing pitta. Though ginger is katu (pungent) in taste, its vipaka (effective taste-after digestion) is madhur (sweet). Regarding candida or a yeast, one can have milk unless he/she has too much kapha.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 I didn't do my Ayurveda reading yet so obviously I have to laugh at myself when trying to understand all these new terms. You all are to be applauded for your knowledge. Sincerely, Amy Philo 214-705-0169 home 817-793-8028 cell URGENT!

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 In Dr. Lad's book Ayurvedic Cooking for Self-Healing, he has a precaution: " Do no take any liquids until at least an hour after eating a banana. " You can make your own coconut milk by pureeing equal parts water and grated coconut in a blender. Let stand for about 30 minutes. Strain through cheesecloth, gather the corners of the cloth and squeeze as much of the liquid as you can.
