Re: question on determining with Ayurvedic

[Guest guest]

Dear Candace,

If you do not have a chance to visit an ayurvedic practitioner for

an objective and independent type finding, it is best to ask one of

your family members for an objective opinion on how your skin is -

obviously it is hard to be objective if it is your body.

Nevertheless, one question does not totally falsify the survey

results, if you answer the other questions honestly, especially

those about behaviour and appearance, you will come to a right

conclusion - and if not, you will notice it as soon as you start an

ayurvedic diet for your type )

Candace-

You add up all your traits for each catagory. if one dominates,

that's your type. you can still have traits from the other catagories.

And sometimes you can be a split type vata/pitta or pitta/vatta.

Finally, if you are really sick now, your type may be skewed and will

shift as you recover.

Dear Candace,

Like one should always bear in mind:

Listen to your heart - so stay on atkins. Just one little

suggestions:

You should get the best items from the ayurvedic diet, like ghee,

the numerous, great spices (like asafoetida), some of the great

herbal teas (chai's) and other items that fit into your diet.

Hi Candace

I'd stop eating the bacon.

You can use unsalted butter, and use unrefined sea salt for taste.

The local grocery stores where I live carry organic produce, it's

sometimes cheaper than the chemical veggies.

Falun Gong is free. Here's a site to check into it.
