Guest guest Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 On herbs Himalaya Drug Co exports it products. You may try contacting other Ayurvedists in Australia (see my web site www.ayurveda-florida.com and click on Resources tab) On honey and cooking Some feel that the principle reason honey becomes a toxic substance when heated is that picchila (sticky) quality increases. This guna is problematic for the movement of food/wastes etc in the channels. The stuff we call ama is abundant with picchila guna. There are those who believe that the end product of cellular metabolism is ama. In such case adding sticky substances increases the likelihood that the minute channels will get bound up with toxic debris and cause disease. The author of the article at http://www.honeyshop.co.uk/effect.html indicates that the enzyme diastase gets destroyed with heating. One reason that honey has yogavahi guna (potentiates accompanying medicines) is because of diastase, most likely. We know that one way to potentiate a drug is to make more of it available in the system and enzymes do this. Destroying the enzyme destroys this fundamental property of honey, too.
