part 5 - focus on rashes and liver flush

[Guest guest]

part 5, Mucous and Rashes article

Please remember this has to be filtered another layer for postpartum

appropriates

 

Focus on rashes

1. The skin is backup after lungs, to the liver's effort to keep

clean. Rashes tend to indicate liver overload.

 

2. Even allergies tend to indicate agni and ama problems, and

definitely are about accumulations when source is evaluated. Dr. John

Douillard is so skilled at the 3 part (7 layer) pulse, he tends to

share what he can read about what came first, in what era of a

person's life, accumulations were/are where looking in terms of the

disease process in part 2, which gives insight to clients how things

got started.

 

3. There may be " genetic " allergies due to congested DNA, which

responds well to combo approach with Ayurveda and essential oils (some

researched to clean up blocked receptors, or miswritten code, etc, I

have an interesting article on it)

 

4. note many other heat type issues can be created from same causes

as rash, depends where the weakness is in the body how it manifests

 

Qualities and foods that exacerbate/increase risk. not that everyone

should flat out avoid these things! In case of rash, we can look to

this list to evaluate and thin risk or causative factors

 

1. especially pungent (strong spicy) and sometimes sour or salty, beng

heat,increasing tastes may be worth adjusting

 

2. Specifically, directly or indirectly, excess acidic influences:

foods such as

• coffee, colas high stimulant ones, chocolate.

• excess carb, protein, fried, sweets

• hot spicies – favor cooked not raw onion/garlic. reduce

chilie, horseradish, etc.

• citrus (except lime), and tomato

• sometimes other nightshades, bell and hot peppers,eggplant, potato?

• red meat, fish, egg and fermented cheese, wine intake can influence

 

2. petrochemical pollutants accumulate in fatty, endocrine, brain

tissues and under the skin and ircumstances may stimulate to be

released there

 

3. Indirectly, hot fried foods, especially the supermarket " good

cooking oils " create free radical/oxidized and hard to digest fats,

increasing liver overload.

 

4. Other heating foods such as grains like corn, even heating

sweeteners, dairy and other things can be worked with to reduce the

" pitta " heat in the body though not as big contributors normally

 

5. If liver is fatty and congested, or one's contipated and there were

lots of red or other heat or acic foods, alchohol, chocolate, food

preservatives, etc, Body may make Rashes (sometimes as well as

mucous!) to try to get rid of these things

 

6. If body's cleansing processes are beginning to wake up on the skin,

or dumping too fast into the blood/lymph, even cleansing supports

including essential oils can create a " cleansing crisis " with

temporary rash or headache. I lean on exercise, breath, antioxidants,

bathing, inert alkaline topicals, air, key foods to favor/avoid, and

keep bowels open as first on list to look here too.

 

Cooling, foods and herbs -

 

Special antirash foods

1. Cilantro " juice " or just used abundantly

2. Pomegranite juice or fruit

3. Coconut – all forms (incl delicious coconut/cilantro relish…)

4. Cucumber – juice, or room temp cool with pinch salt, toasted cumin,

lime yum! use only cooked wth high vata

 

Many more things to lean on

5. generally look to bitter, astringent

6. some of the sweet tastes - milk (vs sour dairy), white rice and

oats, maple syrup and lighter raw sugars (vs honey et all warmers),

and many sweet fresh fruits

7. Most melons alkalize, hydrate and cool wonderfully ( " eat alone or

leave alone " )

8. The green succulent veggies (as opposed to most dark leafies, which

heat)

9. Poultry or small legumes/lentils cool (vs fish & red meats) protein

helps ground, support immune response et al

10. spices and herbs such as CCF tea or in foods

(cumin/coriander/fennel, also gently diuretic), green tea, bitters

like dandelion, green leafy astringent teas, mint, , rose in all

forms, jasmine, chrysanthemum, chamomile, fresh instead of dried

ginger, and turmeric (as in mild curry powder or alone) for its

liver/antihistamine supportthe list goes on)

11. Yes, we can also reduce what is most people's natural response,

the temperature of foods, giving more room temp drinks, sweet fruits,

salads. Alone probably not enough, and if mucuous is also a problem,

this is not first approach.

 

Gentle Liver " flushing " also helps

 

1. Start the day with tall glass of warm water - gets things moving,

then enjoy your fruit juice to bring up blood sugar and help

" cleanse " . This is much better than coffee or tea. If required, do

that 2nd or best, after your juice and sipped with breakfast. If you

want to reduce caffiene, this is best way to start. Don't remove,

just take care of the other things too, in right order.

2. Add oomph to the warm or hot water with squeeze of lime in this

case (rash or other redness), rather than lemon

3. Up the power another good notch with 2 Tbs or so of olive oil.

also gentle laxative action.

4. All these are cooling, astringent, and encourage liver and GB to

contract, dump into colon, and colon to paristalse.

5. Add oomph if desired and appropriate with immune stimulating garlic

(hot sharp) or fresh ginger (warm sharp) piece, in the blender, or

some fresh fruits (blueberries or apple, pear, most sweet summer

fruits all cool)

6. NOTE: Springtime is a particularlly good time to do some colon,

liver and parasite cleansing and including use of bitter and pungent

herbs.
