See book keywords and concepts |  To support vata, drink warm herbal teas, chai (warming spices with milk), or room-temperature milk, buttermilk, or kefir. In hot weather, enjoy sour fruit juice or water with lemon or lime juice. Small quantities of beer or wine are sometimes helpful.
Fats and Oils moisten, warm, lubricate, and help ground vata providing they are unrefined and used moderately. Ghee and sesame oil are the most balancing, followed by almond oil, extra virgin olive oil, butter, and coconut oil.
Fruits moisten and harmonize vata; however, they are generally too light to have a grounding effect. |

See book keywords and concepts |  In the 1700s, the plant foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) was used in herbal teas to treat dropsy (heart failure). The active ingredient in foxglove (digitalis) is now given in pure form and is a standard therapy for those who suffer from heart disease. So one century's "alternative" medicine is the next century's mainstream medicine.
There are, however, important differences in the way that drugs and "alternative" medicines are treated in this country. In 1994, Congress passed the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act. | | For example, as we stated above, herbal teas were used in the 1700s to treat heart failure. In 1775
William Withering evaluated each of the herbs contained in those teas and found that one, digitalis, was important in strengthening the heart muscle. Subsequently, this compound, now synthesized as the medicine digoxin, was tested in scientific studies to see whether it worked and in which situations it worked best.
Personal experience is fine, but "alternative" medicines should not be exempt from scientific study. c Laboratory Studies (Does it work in a test tube and in animals? |

See book keywords and concepts |  If combined herbs stevia and licorice with a meal, they are taken at the end in small amounts, ideally preceded by a green salad.*
*The greens recommended for this salad are lettuce and/or celery.
Plan C: The One-Pot Meal
Traditions in India and China use foods of multiple ingredients for healing when
# they are prepared correctly.
In Plan C, as in Plan A, one may combine a number of foods at a single meal.
But instead of focusing on the order of foods eaten, it calls for cooking all ingredients for a meal in a single pot with ample water. |

• candy, sweets, and sugary drinks
• caffeine, chocolate, soda pop (caffeine and cocoa's theobromines impair circulation to the extremities)
Gallbladder attack
No one can imagine the dilemma of suffering a gallbladder attack without medical help. Yet, not every attack need result in gallbladder surgery.
Individuals with gallbladder problems are making a grave error by avoiding the consumption of fat. The gallbladder thrives on fat. Without it, the organ degenerates. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Solid foods should be restricted to brown rice, steamed vegetables, and moderate intake of lean protein sources.
In chronic cases, follow the dietary recommendations given in Chapter 50. The diet should be low in saturated fats, simple carbohydrates (sugar, white flour, fruit juice, honey, etc.), oxidized fatty acids (fried oils), and animal products. A diet which focuses on plant foods (i.e. a high-fiber diet) has been shown to increase the elimination of bile acids, drugs and toxic bile substances from the system. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Most plant-source foods contain some fluoride, though the amount can vary gready depending on soil fluoride content. Soil deficiency of fluoride is fairly common.
Fluoride is added to the drinking water of many municipalities at the concentration of 1 ppm. More than 2 ppm can cause problems, so the concentration must be finely monitored. People drinking city water who also consume fluoride-containing foods or black teas can develop fluoride problems as well, though toxicity has not been found to be appreciable with moderate amounts. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Vegetables used freely were lettuce, carrots, beets, onions, celery, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, nettles, cucumber, radishes, Jerusalem artichokes, and all beans except soy and green peas. Potatoes were allowed in restricted amounts. A number of fruits were also used freely: blueberries, cloudberries, raspberries, strawberries, black currants, gooseberries, plums, and pears. Apples and citrus fruits were not allowed, and grains were either highly restricted or eliminated. |

Raw cabbage juice, if taken on an empty stomach immediately after juicing, is more effective for healing ulcers than cooked cabbage. However, whole raw foods may cause irritations, so the remaining foods in the supporting diet—grains, vegetables, and sweet fruits—should be well-cooked, soft (even pureed when necessary), and easy to digest. |
