Just to add Mani ji. If you are prone to common cold and cough then Dudhi juice is not less than a curse for you. The patients following channel vale babas, commonly complain about it. In Traditional Healing in general there is very few general recommendations, there is specific recommendations for every patient.
Like other herbs Aonla has its own limitations. In treatment of heart diseases many of Traditional experts suggest the patients to stop use of Aonla in any form. But as we are seeing from Television advertisement to Channel Vale Babas every one is openly recommending Aonla for every one. It is general recommendation that Ginger tea is good for cold and cough but here is also a sign of "Condition apply." Patients having skin troubles specially Leucoderma or Vitiligo are strictly suggested to avoid Ginger in any form. The use of Ginger is restricted in alteast ten human diseases. So our Traditional experts truly say that the new trend of "Commercial Ayurveda" is not reducing the future patients but increasing the list of patients and indirectly assisting the modern systems of medicine like Allopathy. Few months back I published Hindi article showing that how modern fashion of taking Aloe vera juice is increasing the new patients with colon cancer alarmingly. If interested, I will forward it to you. regards Pankaj Oudhia On Sat, Jan 15, 2011 at 10:47 AM, mani nair <mani.na...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks Gurcharan ji for the info.
