Guest guest Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Looking over Dr. Lad's foods by doshas list, am happy to report on it, although taste wise we are not talking particularly about thyroid supports now (some are higher than others and I'd have to look it up in another reference and miss the mailrun...). Some definitely taste better than kelp! He puts them under condiments for some reason Dulse, Hijiki, Kelp, Kombu (another kelp) and seaweeds in general benefit vata. Kelp is more heating than the others apparently and not so good for pitta! In general , seaweeds seem to have some pitta, perhaps the salt content, but can be used in moderate amounts for pitta. Similar breakdown for kapha as pittas - kapha has to go easy on the salt and vata benefits. The minerals and alkalizing as well as other beneficial effects of many seaweeds make them in my opinion wonderful addition to cuisine choices and nutrition for many childbearing mothers. Kombu (must be a variety of kelp?) is help for yelping tummies towards better bean cookery/digestion. (couldn't help it, sorry). Best - Ysha > I don't see much discussion at all amongst ayurvedics on the seaweeds, though there seem to be excellent quality sources for their excellent gifts properly used. > > > oh, that's interesting. darn, i thought i could avoid the taste of the kelp through the use of capsules:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
