Thanks Anand ji for your comments. As mentioned earlier I consumed adulterated Sulfi which resulted in Loose motions. During student life I traveled Bastar extensively with Healers specially herb expert Shri Vishal Bharat. In almost every visit we consumed freshly collected Sulfi and enjoyed it.
I am still far from using alchohal in any form except in Homoeopathic drugs. At the same time I am vegetarian. Vegetarian for food not for medicine. I have documented the traditional knowledge about medicinal insects and mites and having largest number of publications on this aspect. http://ecoport.org/ep?SearchType=earticleView&earticleId=649&page=-2 During surveys I have tasted hundreds of insects and mite remedies from Chapra (Oecophylla smaragdina) to Rani Keeda (Trombidium species). I take Cockroach many times in a year in form of Homoepathic drug Blatta. But still I am vegetarian. I read Vodka, Jin and so many drinks in hotel menu but never tasted it but when I have to live with Healers I have to take a sip of Sulfi or Landa (Prepared from Rice) to give respect to them. Its great to know that you have planted Sulfi in large number. Please locate it with the help of Google Earth. regards Pankaj Oudhia On Wed, May 26, 2010 at 9:32 AM, Anand Kumar Bhatt <[email protected]>wrote: > I found it in taste not very different from the toddy palm which I took for > about a week in the northern part of Bihar. at that time I did not have any > allergic reaction.
