Channel cloggers: Big beans

-

"Vaidya Mishra always very strictly warned against large beans and soya in particular as being channel clogging. Soya also has the effect of being estrogenic which can interfere with hormone systems." 

BBC NEWS | Health | Avoiding soya 'may aid fertility'

Women should avoid eating too much soya if they are trying for a baby, a UK fertility expert believes.
A study in humans has shown a compound in soya called genistein sabotages the sperm as it swims towards the egg.

Professor Lynn Fraser, from King's College London, said even tiny doses in the female tract could burn sperm out.

She told a European fertility conference that avoiding soya around women's most fertile days of the month might aid conception...........Blaine. Watson March 2021


Ayurveda uses the term "SHROTA' to mean all the physical channels in the body from our veins and arteries to the micro channels in our cells that transport various nutrients into the cell and toxins out of the cell. According to the Shaka Vansiya lineage of Vaidya RK Mishra, certain foods clog these channels more so than others interfering with nutrient assimilation and detoxification.

In the above news report, modern science now is confirming the biochemistry behind this well known fact in Ayurveda from ancient times. Soya beans (including Tofu) are particularly emphasized in the above. However SVA recommends that we avoid all large beans including Soya beans" kidney, garbanzo, black beans etc.  Oh dear !!! What can I eat then"  However, you will find many alternatives. Here are a few: Mung green and yellow (which are skinned green Mung), Moth, Adzuki, Green lentils, French lentils, Red lentils, Black lentils.  There is also a variety of small garbanzo beans.  I have developed a wonderful recipes for hummus using green Mung beans instead of garbanzo. 

Soya according to the above reference and other sources I have seen seems to be particularly bad for causing hormonal imbalances.

The reason to avoid these channel cloggers is not only to keep the physical channels open but also the vibrational channels known as "NADIS" which allow for the flow of PRANA or life force also known as CHI in chinese medicine.  The nadis are more than just the meridians of Chinese Meidicine but they interlace all the various layers of our physical, emotional and subtle energetic bodies.

Make a paste of Turmeric and Aloe gel..it worked for inflamed gums for us.

 Gingivitis... we found a simple solution. My partner was suffering from an inflamed gum for weeks and went to the dentist who seemed not concerned and said "If it gets worse let me know." Then the inflammation of the gum got so bad that his cheek started to swell on one side and he looked like a chipmunk on that side.  We try to avoid antibiotics because we know that they play havoc with your micro-biome and it takes a long time to reestablish a good bacterial flora in the gut. We went to Grandpa Google and looked at what had helped others with this problem.  From the many suggestions what jumped out at me was TURMERIC and ALOE VERA.... Wow! both are very high in my esteem.  And I also knew that Turmeric even though it is a wonderful medicine, it can be drying and heating.  And immediately my intuitions said "Aloe is cooling and moistening, Let's combine them!"   That is exactly what we did. We put 2 teaspoonfuls of Turmeric in a small dish and made a...

Detox Soup

-
Harsh detox protocols can be very dangerous and many modern day toxins are "hot" or can burn the delicate fine channels of elimination in the kidney and other tissues.  Shaka Vansiya Ayurved teaches that there are 4 categories of toxins. Ama or undigested food that is sticky and cold and we need hot spices to eliminate this type of toxin. So ginger and pepper and fenugreek and other heating spices would work well. However once that toxin has been sitting around for a long time it becomes hot.  We might call it a "free radical" in modern scientific terms. Shaka Vansiya Ayurved (now referred to as SVA) calls this Amavisha.  This type of toxin needs a different approach to detox. Before moving the toxins out of the body we need to bind them with mucilaginous food like barley, okra, tapioca, arrowroot, taro root and others.  I find zucchini and other summers squashes are most readily available, even though they are not extremely mucilaginous.  Then you can start mov...

  To drink Milk or Not to drink milk? ......That is the question. Milk is considered a nectar in Ayurveda.   It is the loving fluid coming form the mother’s blood carrying immunity and nourishment to the offspring   - whether cow, goat or human or whatever.   When we drink milk within 24-48 hours it nourishes all our deepest tissues. All other food that takes 30 days to reach the deepest levels of our physiology. In other words, to make Ojas or all the neurotransmitter and hormones that are essential for intelligent communication and transformation of all tissues, takes 30 days.   Yes, you heard me. What you eat today is not fully assimilated for about 1 month, whereas milk is assimilated within 2 days.   That is why it is considered a nectar. However there are certain rules around drinking milk.   Firstly the source must be of good quality.   The cows have to be well treated. The individuals caring for the animal but treat it with kindness and re...
