Re: :( they communicate with each other
I've been reading what you guys have been up to when I've had the chance, but I've been busy with my daughter being here. I had noticed a while back, that you hadn't been posting much- it is always a concern when someone "disappears" :) I had hoped you hadn't wiped yourself out too badly with more experimenting (ex: niacin, and iodine increase)
If you do a search for "Triphala leaky gut", there's alot of interesting stuff on the internet. I had no idea what all it is benefical for.Amla is one of the 3 ingredients of triphala I think the 3 ingredients working together makes it more beneficial than taking Amla alone, but that's my thought. I've found that the Planetary Herbals products are good ones, and I've been using their Triphala (thanks to Newport pointing me to it), and I think the Planetary Herbals "Wormwood" blend, (Artemisia Annua), is a good one. It also has Triphala in it too.
I was just reading this too for leaky gut, and gut problems caused by parasites, (while searching for Triphala- it's just above this. I'm pretty sure the pepper is what is also needed with turmeric, for it to be better utilized too:
Trikatu - Maricha - Piper nigrum, Pippali - Piper longum,Shunti - Zingiber officinalis.
Trikatu (combination of three spices, black pepper, long pepper & ginger) is carminative, appetiser, digestive, expectorant, bronchodilator, diaphoretic. It increases digestion, and increases metabolism, which help the body to reduce weight and fat absorption in the stomach. Trikatu also helps in the absorption of nutrients in the Colon that improves health and healing.
It also helps in conditions of poor assimilation due to parasites, leaky gut or low enzyme secretions, diarrhoea, food intolerances to damp, wet and heavy foods. It is a specific remedy to help burn 'ama' and undigested toxins in the digestive tract and blood stream.
As Trikatu rejuvenates the lungs it is used whenever there is cough, cold, wheezing, breathing difficulties with clear, sticky and white phlegm. Used in asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, cough and colds. It is a good remedy for hayfever and acute allergic rhinitis as an immediate way of drying up the copious nasal secretions- it has anti-allergenic effects. Also used in sinus congestion and chronic nasal blockage. Trikatu has an affinity for all the orifices of the head - clears that fuzzy headed feeling, also can help clear blocked ears and treat sore throats. http://www.ayurindus.com/user/hnpl/inter/cgi-bin/store/commerce.cgi?page=diav...,
