Congestion: A Prime Example of Why Detailed Diagnosis Matters

Sometimes when we know a little bit about a subject it can get us into trouble. This is true in a lot of the health problems we face. This video shows how we can go down the wrong path when it comes to our health, with the little bit of knowledge that we have. The video talks about the way we reflexively treat congestion, as a good example.
Our first instinct when we treat congestion is to drink a tea with ginger and warming spices to help burn out the mucus. We learn that Kapha creates congestion and with too much Kapha we need to burn out the heavy mucus.
But there are other reasons that congestion might happen: if the Vata, or drying element goes high and the body’s physical channels of the lungs and sinuses get too dried out, the body will try to lubricate the dryness with mucus.
Or if Pitta, the element of heat, goes high, the body will try to cool down the channel.
So, if there is either too much dryness or heating in a channel such as the lung or sinus channel, the body will automatically try to balance it out by creating mucus. In these two cases, if you try to burn out the mucus with there heating spices and herbs, you will develop a chronic problem with your congestion.
This is why it’s always a good idea to have an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner help you with your health problems, so you don’t go down a wrong path and make matters worse.

I’m always curious about people taunting health when they dye their hair with chemical dye that goes straight into our bloodstream??? It’s a turn off for me right away …
