Asafoetida
Asafoetida, one of the most pungent of all spices, is obtained from the rhizomes and roots of the shrub Ferula assa-foetida (Apiaceae), native to the southwest Asian region. It is rich in an oleo-gum-resin made up of 6-17% volatile oils, 40-64% resin and 7-25% gum. The volatile oil contains disulfide compounds similar to those in garlic. |

 There's also a lot of ginger and turmeric in it, in addition to aloe vera, which is a powder form. You want to know exactly how to blend those together. When people are taking it, those ingredients are so important for absorbency.
Mike: Yes. The ginger especially, as you mentioned before.
Lovejoy: ginger is one of my favorites.
Mike: Aloe vera is one of my favorite herbs, or foods, of all time. I think it's one of the most underrated herbs out there. Why did you decide to put it in?
Lovejoy: Aloe vera is wonderful for blood glucose balancing. It's great for that. |

| This morning for breakfast, I had ginger, which is one of them. I had green tea, which I drink all day. Radish has anticongestion energy that clears our senses and helps us think better and I wanted to add a sour taste to balance the hot, pungent and bitter. Lately I have been eating a lot of star fruit, which is slightly sour, but other people might want to have lemon. So we have green tea, ginger, radish, and something sour, like lemon. This helps balance and strengthen the digestion.
"The link between digestion and depression is very clear. |

 You may put a small piece of fresh ginger in the flask to improve taste. By boiling the water continuously for at least 15 minutes, large numbers of negatively charged oxygen ions are generated. When ingested by taking frequent sips of this water throughout the day, these negatively charged ions systematically begin to cleanse the tissues of the body and help rid them of positively charged ions— those associated with high acidity and toxins. If you have excessive body weight, this cleansing method can help you shed many pounds of body-waste without any major undesirable side effects. |

 Only two shades are available, one of which (Sweet ginger) will be too peach for some, so this is recommended only if you have light skin.
© No7 Radiant Glow Concealer ($12.99) functions best as a highlighter because it brightens shadowed areas, but provides minimal coverage. The finish feels matte but has a slight shine to it, which works to a subtle extent to reflect light away from dark areas. You push a button at the bottom of the pen-style component, and the product is fed onto a built-in synthetic brush. |

| If you feel you need to kindle your digestive fire, AGNI, take % to Vi teaspoon of grated ginger with a pinch of salt before eating. Spraying or sprinkling your face, neck and hands with a little cold water before your meal also increases AGNI.
2. Liquid foods, such as soup, should be eaten toward the beginning of the meal, unless your meal includes a fresh, raw salad. In this case, eat the salad first, followed by the soup. Raw foods can only be digested at the beginning of a meal, not once you have eaten cooked food.

| A spicy and bitter appetizer such as romaine lettuce with added pepper can kindle his AGNI, so can chewing on a piece of fresh ginger. Kaphas don't need or even want much of a salad dressing that is sour and oily.
Generally, Kapha types should ensure that there are enough pungent, bitter and astringent tastes present in each meal. Spices such as cumin, fenugreek and turmeric are both astringent and bitter. Green leafy vegetables, including kale and spinach, that are cooked with plenty of spices also help to pacify Kapha, but care should be taken not to add too much water during cooking. |
| According to other research, diabetics also benefit from ground fenugreek, turmeric, ginger, bitter melon extract, bilberry extract and gymnema sylvestre extract; the latter has been shown to heal damaged pancreas cells.] Cinnamon has also been shown to lower triglycerides and cholesterol levels, and to prevent and improve heart disease.
More recent research shows that cinnamon does more than just ward off diabetes and heart disease. |

 Capsicums, including chilies and other hot peppers, are in the middle of the antimicrobial pack (killing or inhibiting up to 75% of bacteria), while pepper of the white or black variety inhibits 25% of bacteria, as do ginger, anise seed, celery seed and the juices of lemons and limes.
It just could be that the spices we add to our foods protect us from the eventual onset of cancer.

| Although the shades are gorgeous, this product contains peppermint and ginger oils, which combine to produce a warm, tingling sensation that you should read as a signal that your lips are being seriously irritated. There are so many other excellent choices for lip gloss that share the same positive traits as this one but don't assault your lips with irritants. © Lip Shine ($13.50) is a tube-type lip gloss with a light, slick texture. |
| The trio of plumping agents are all of the irritating kind, and include peppetmint, capsicum (pepper), and ginger root oils. None of them are good news for lips, especially if this is a product you intend to use routinely. It's otherwise a standard, slightly thick lip gloss with a sticky finish and an atttactive selection of sparkle-infused colors. Despite Clinique's gentle reputation (which, at least in the case of their classic three-step skin-care routine, isn't true), this lip-plumping product ends up being more irritating than similar options.

© $$$ Inner Light Liquid Foundation SPF 12 ($20.50) doesn't have a liquid texture, and in fact is so thick that it can be difficult to dispense from the bottle (if any foundation could benefit from a pump applicator, it's this one!). Out of the bottle, this does blend on smoothly and thins out before setting to a soft matte (in feel) finish. |

Bok Choy
(Chinese cabbage, pak-choi, Chinese chard)
Bok choy is an Asian member of the cabbage family that has long, thick stalks topped by blue-green leaves. You probably know it as an ingredient in wonton soup, but despite that decidedly mundane use, it's actually a real health food.
Is It Really a Cabbage?
There's some minor controversy about whether bok choy, also known as Chinese cabbage, should even be called a cabbage in the first place. |

| My^^^^l Add ginger to broth to warm the body and calm the stomach. When ^*&iJU*r your appetite comes back, eat a nourishing diet composed primarily ot whole grains, fresh fruits, and vegetables, and some fish and lean chicken. Avoid saturated fat as studies show it can promote nausea. Also avoid sugar, processed foods, dairy, and junk food as they suppress your immune system. Do not share food or use the same utensils or plates as others, especially children, as gastric flu is contagious.
Supplements: Taking a multivitamin/multimineral has been shown to lower the incidence of nausea. |

I have found several supplements to be effective for treating colds and flu. Consider taking these when people around you are sick or when you first feel symptoms. You can use one or any combination until you feel better. These are safe for children when given in dosages of one-quarter to one-half of what I recommend for adults. The bigger the child, the higher the dose. |
