As many people know, both Ayurveda and traditional Oriental systems of medicine use a system of three main pulses. In Ayurvedic and Tibetan medicine, these translate to wind, bile, and phlegm. It is not healthy. It means that the body is not properly pH balanced and that it favors acidity that in turn will lead to tissue breakdown. The Ayurvedic system of taste and the elements is presented in a way that anyone interested can immediately begin applying the ideas so as to further constitutional balance through diet.
Many people report increased clarity and alertness on the very first day.
Some also describe a reduction in pain, increase in energy, and improved digestion and elimination. Philosopher that I am, I would see the toxins as major irritants. While toxins can attack nerve sheaths, it would be too simplistic to attribute improvement solely to a reduction of nerve irritation. While some improvement is usually evident early on with detoxifiers, there are phases in which progress is more gradual. In my experience, discontinuing use of the herbs or increasing the dosage in an effort to get faster results are neither correct.
