Sugar As Medicine
So I arrive at work today and begin developing a very strong need for food, that is, I feel really hungry A definite Pitta provocation during Kapha time(6-10am)
Reasonable, you say, it's morning and breakfast time But the issue is that I don't eat breakfast sooo…what do I do, run somewhere and get breakfast?
Well it wasn't possible because I was going to start seeing patients in the next fifteen minutes But I knew that I wouldn't be comfortable in the next three hours ignoring the appetite I'd start getting impatient and feel irritable
Have you ever had the experience of being very hungry and you eat something sweet and the hunger goes away just like that?
The important observation is that the sweet taste immediately pacifies Pitta and its appetite
The tastes sweet, bitter, and astringent all reduce Pitta when sensed in the mindbody physiology
So from an energy science nutritional approach it made medicinal sense to find something sweet to calm the Pitta energy pattern And it worked beautifully
I used the sweet taste as medicine!
In energy science nutrition, all foods have medicinal value We just have them use it properly
Have you ever had a similar experience? How long did it take to feel better and the appetite was reduced? Do you think that taste can be medicinal?
Until tomorrow To health as a Skill Love DrBill
