Complete explanation of buttermilk - uses.

        Buttermilk prepared by mixing curd and water in equal parts is light and digestible quickly. It has a slight nuttiness and sourness. Increases Jatharagni. Drains phlegm. It prevents problems such as goblet, stomach, prostatitis, gum dysentery, urinary retention, loss of taste in the mouth, enlargement of the spleen, goiter, problems caused by drinking too much ghee, poisoning, dysentery.

                  Buttermilk also has varieties. Now let me explain those types to you. Buttermilk that is pureed without adding water to the curd is called "Goola". Buttermilk mixed with one-fourth of curd and water is called "Udashvita". Buttermilk curd mixed with half water is called "Takramu". Buttermilk mixed with three-fourths of water to curd is called "Kalasheya". Of all these, buttermilk called Takramu, made with half curd and half water, is the best. Now let me explain to you about the special qualities of Takram.

             Proper use of ghee increases Jatharagni in the body. Relieves vomiting, flatulence, swelling, smell, poison, colic, jaundice, phlegm, vata.

                    Buttermilk that is not completely buttered is called Mandajatam. It is not digested so quickly. Buttermilk that has been sprinkled without even an iota of oil is called Atijata. It is very sour and creates heat. Increases frequency. Buttermilk mixed with nutty and sour flavors causes constipation. Only sour buttermilk expels faeces. Do not mix anything with buttermilk in the stomach, it drains the phlegm. But it causes phlegm in the throat.

                  Now let me tell you about the times when buttermilk should not be used. Buttermilk should not be used in cases of wounds, epilepsy, hallucinations and bilious diseases. In the same way, during the cold season, when the Jatharagni in the body is sluggish, in diseases born of phlegm, in throat problems, when Vata is provoked, buttermilk called Takramu should be used.

          When Vata is irritated in the body, fermented buttermilk should be mixed with Saindhava salt. Sweet buttermilk mixed with sugar should be drunk when pitta is irritated. Similarly, when phlegm erupts in the body, one should drink buttermilk mixed with trikatukamu powder i.e. equal parts of shonti, pippal, pepper and salt.

                   Buttermilk that is slightly sour is sukravirdhikaram, buttermilk that is very sour increases jatrahagni. Pinasarogam means when there are diseases such as runny nose, shortness of breath and cough, then boiled buttermilk should be drunk. If buttermilk is used when sores arise on the body, there will be many problems. Since buttermilk has the property of absorbing liquid, giving buttermilk when suffering from watery diarrhea will make the watery stool harden and thus reduce the diarrhea. Buffalo buttermilk works excellently in jaundice and Pandu disease. Goat's buttermilk, sheep's buttermilk, bad-smelling buttermilk increase tridoshas. So it should not be used.

             The main cause of human diseases is the food we eat. As long as we eat food that is suitable for our body, we have no problem. Food intake should be very limited. Lately, I have noticed that most of the patients who are coming to me are suffering from eating disorders. Similarly in Ayurveda there is a main saying. "Trikala Bhojane Maharogi, Dvikala Bhojane Mahabhogi, Ekakala Bhojane Mahayogi" is implicitly said. So take food which is suitable for your body type and don't suffer from health problems.
