Guest guest Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Does anyone know anything about metabolic typing and how it compares to Ayurveda? I know Pittas can have fruit but anything sweet seems to make me sleepy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Hi Debra, First of all how do you know your prakruthi is Pitta ? Have you seen an Ayurvedic physician or a Vaidya ?If you took an online test to find that out , that may not always be accurate because its general in nature. Ayurveda has been oversimplified on the internet and people after reading such material feel they know a lot about Ayurveda, but they don't and I learnt it from this wonderful forum. Like Dr.Bhate said in one of his posts, Ayurveda is not a simple chart describing herbal remedies for all the symptoms. If eating fruits make you feel sleepy then there could be something else going on ( perhaps high sugar ? )and its better you see a doctor. I'm no doctor , but I do understand that I'm not qualified in Ayurveda to do a self diagnosis and treatment . In other words, I know that I don't know Please don't get me wrong here. I'm just trying to highlight the need for a physically present Vaidya to properly diagnose and treat health issues. By the way from my limited knowledge in Ayurveda , God has made fruits for every constitution Good luck Pradeep ____________ Does anyone know anything about metabolic typing and how it compares to Ayurveda?

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Pradeep, thanks for your answer. They did test me for diabetes twice in the last year. Yeah, I just guessed on the Pitta, but I fit the characteristics to a T. Plus all the recommended foods appeal to me and the ones that aren't good for my constitution, don't appeal to me. Also, I am predominantly fire signs. I think part of my problem is that I have been sleeping too much. Even though I get up at 5 I may be getting too much sleep. I got up today at 3:45 a.m. and feel much better. How do I go about finding a Ayurvedic physican in Tidewater, Virginia? __________________ First of all how do you know your prakruthi is Pitta ?
