How many tastes in European culture. Interesting facts about tart taste
ABOUT The main tastes of a person is a concept associated with ethno-cultural historical tradition.
The number of types of independent taste receptors is currently not precisely established.
4 basic flavors- sociocultural tradition of European culture,
5 basic flavors- the tradition of the culture of the states of Southeast Asia.
Story
In Western culture, the concept of "basic tastes" dates back at least to the time of Aristotle.
Aristotle mentioned "sweet" and "bitter" as the main ones, and " meat taste”, “salty”, “burning”, “tart”, “astringent” and “sour” - as developed from these two “basic”. The ancient Chinese philosophy of the five elements described five basic tastes: bitter, salty, sour, sweet, and spicy.
Some Japanese researchers mention a taste called kokumi, which is described as a sensation of “fullness” of the mouth cavity, “density”, which is variable in strength and duration. It can be expected that the intensive development of modern science will soon make it possible to determine the specific characteristics and intimate mechanisms of the work of taste buds, and the number of recognized "basic" tastes will only increase. Note that in the terminology of professional tasters ( food products, tea, coffee, wine, tobacco) the number of basic flavors used is much larger, but these terms refer to aroma rather than taste itself.
Basic flavors
The concept of a limited number of "basic tastes" goes back to the ancient worldview, which is based on the idea of searching for a limited number of reasons for a universal explanation of the observed facts, a kind of atomism. However, the perception of taste also includes a socio-cultural component, determined by the nature of food and the traditions of peoples who do not belong to European culture, therefore, as we generalize the data, we open up more and more new approaches to describing tastes. There is a possibility, similar to latest research perception of smell, that the number of individual different types of taste buds is much greater than the traditionally allocated 4-5.
Salty
Its standard carrier is sodium chloride ( salt), especially the ion (Na+). It is detected by ion channel receptors on the tongue, changing the action potential. Simultaneously perceived salty and sour tastes strongly interfere, making it difficult for us to understand which of the factors is stronger.
Sour taste
The sour taste is uniquely associated with the pH value of the liquid. The mechanism of perception is similar to the perception of salty. Oxonium ions (mainly H3O+) arise during the dissociation of acids. Since the pH value of human saliva is close to neutral (pH = 7), (in children, the pH value is 7.04 ± 0.03, although in adults the glands located in the oral cavity secrete several various secrets- on the root of the tongue, hard and soft palate are mucous salivary glands, the secret of which contains a lot of mucin, a different secret in the submandibular and sublingual glands).
In adults, mixed saliva in the oral cavity has a pH = 6.8 ... 7.4, so the tongue can feel more or less acidic zones in the mouth. If the product has a pH<7, мы ощущаем кислый вкус. При рН>7 we feel the so-called. "soapy" taste. A convenient standard of acidity is solutions of acetic acid (for comparison, the acidity of gastric juice is normal pH ~ 1).
Sweet
Sweetness is usually associated with the presence of sugars, but the same sensation comes from glycerol, certain proteins, amino acids (aspartame). One of the chemical carriers of "sweet" are hydroxo groups in large organic molecules - sugars, as well as polyols - sorbitol, xylitol. Sweet detectors are G-proteins located in the taste buds. A system of "second messengers" is used, specifically cAMP, associated with H ± channels, that is, the reception of "sour taste".
bitter
Bitterness, like sweetness, is perceived through G-proteins. Historically, bitter taste has been associated with an unpleasant sensation, and possibly a danger to some herbal products for good health. Indeed, most plant alkaloids are both toxic and bitter, and evolutionary biology has reason to believe so.
The synthetic bitter substance denatonium (known under the brand name Bitrex) was synthesized in 1958. Its derivative (Denatonium benzoate) is used as a "repellent agent" to prevent accidental ingestion of toxic substances, for example, by children or animals.
Phenylthiocarbamide (abbreviation "PTC") is very bitter for most people, but imperceptible to some. This is due to the genetic characteristics of some people.
Quinine, natural substance, used as a treatment for malaria, is known as "reference bitterness" and is used in the manufacture of some soft drinks and gin.
Umami
Fifth Taste", traditionally used in Chinese culture, in other countries of the East. Umami (Japanese) is the name given to the taste sensation produced by free amino acids, specifically α-glutamine, which can be found in fermented and aged foods such as Parmesan and Roquefort cheeses, soy sauces and fish sauces. They are also found in a large number of non-fermented foods, such as walnuts, grapes, broccoli, tomatoes, mushrooms, and, to a lesser extent, in meat.
Glutamates are best experienced when combined with salted foods (monosodium glutamate) - perhaps this explains why tomatoes and some other foods seem to taste much better when they are salted. Umami sauces and savory sauces are very popular in cooking: tomato sauces and ketchup in Western cuisine, soy and fish sauces in the east. Inosinic acid (often added in the form of sodium inosinate) is tasteless on its own, but has the property of enhancing the taste of glutamic acid by 5-6 times.
Feelings and tastes in the everyday sense
Bold
Fat as a characteristic of taste has been mentioned from time to time since at least the 1800s. Some researchers are not yet sure that this sensation is differentiated in all people, and, referring to the fact that the experiments were carried out on animals, they are in no hurry to recognize this taste as “basic”.
A person certainly perceives a "fatty" taste - but this sensation is not as pronounced as the standard "sweet-sour-bitter-salty" tetrad usually distinguished.
For some people with impaired liver function (for example, after hepatitis), the taste, sight of fat can cause discomfort.
Burning taste
It is associated with substances that stimulate "thermal" receptors - ethanol, capsaicin ( active substance red pepper), piperine (the active substance of black pepper) - they excite the branches of the trigeminal nerve, and contribute to the "pure taste" sensation.
Cooling taste
Some substances, such as menthol, are able to act on the TRPM8 protein found in cold receptors. That is why when they get on the tongue and mucous membranes of the mouth, there is a feeling of a cooling taste.
astringent
This taste is associated with the reception of tannins (tannins in tea, blackthorn berries, etc.). The mechanism of its occurrence is associated with the binding of tannins and proteins rich in proline. With insufficiently developed terminology in certain social or linguistic groups, this taste is not distinguished and is evaluated as a variant of bitter.

00:00:01 So what? Let's start learning six tastes. So, there are 6 basic tastes: sweet, sour, pungent, bitter, salty and astringent. These tastes are closely related to the five elements and they will influence the balance of the three doshas. That is, we see that in the universe the entire universe consists of five mahabhutas. In Sanskrit, mahabhuta means 5 large primary elements, of which everything consists. Including tastes also consist of these primary elements. And today we will study with you how tastes can affect doshas. If we look into this matter, you can many diseases can be cured with the help of diet, to themselves. That is the purpose of our seminar.
sweet taste
00:01:10 Today we will analyze the sweet taste, first. Sweet taste. It consists of the first two elements - it is earth and water. That's why it's wet. If you put a bucket of water to the sweet? What will happen to sweets? Absorb. Everyone knows that sweets absorb moisture actively. This means that the taste is made of water, there is water. That is, the element of water is present. So like tends to like. It's clear? And the second primary element is earth. So - water, the characteristic of water is wet, the earth is heavy. Both are inherently cold. Therefore, when a person eats up sugar, especially at the wrong time, in the evening for example. What is evening? The day is also divided into doshas. Do you remember what they said then? Morning is a Vata dosha. Day - Pitta, fire. Evening, night, more precisely - what is it? Kapha. And if we eat sweet taste at night, what happens? That is, the sweet taste is nothing but kapha dosha, it will enhance kapha dosha. It's clear? Why does a person get fat when he eats sweets at the wrong time !? That's why. But if you eat sweet food in the morning, will your kapha dosha grow? No. Day will grow? Increase? Few. It will be a little, but not so much. And at night, that's all. Guaranteed.
00:03:06 And so, we see that a sweet taste, a sweet taste, has mainly two qualities, that is, two elements – water and earth. Therefore, one whose body has predominantly the primary elements of earth and water, that is, kapha dosha, it is strictly forbidden for him to eat sugar after 14 days. It's clear? Thus, when kapha dosha starts to fill with sweet taste, the energy of earth and water increases in the body, and what begins? All this is poorly digested and turns into toxins. So, undigested elements are called ama in Sanskrit. Ama. Dirt, that is, in translation.
00:03:52 So, let's say a person coughs. Cough is also of three types. Let's look at all three types. Kapha dosha type cough will be accompanied by what? Well, how does kapha appear in the body? Earth and water if mixed together? What happens? Slime. Slime. Right. Slime. This is what kapha is. Here a person coughs, and his cough is accompanied by sputum, mucus. Does this mean that his dosha is out of balance? (Answer from the audience - kapha.) That's right. And here is the recipe - burnt sugar let's say yes? Cough heals. Yes? We are his - time, burnt sugar, and he gets even better later. That is, they added it there.
00:04:46 How will pita doshas manifest? Hot and dry. There will be fire. That is, usually such a cough passes into the blood. The person starts coughing up blood. This is the first sign that the disturbance goes along the pita dosha, the pita dosha is excited. Cough accompanied by… vata dosha disorders, how will they manifest themselves? There will be signs of air, flaming such a cough. Pu poo is like a duck. Like a pipe. It means vata dosha. That is, you see, if there is an understanding of the dosha, you can operate with the alphabet from the very beginning. ABC. Knowing these things, you can already understand even how with the help of which products you can extinguish any dosha.
00:05:42 So, if we see that if a person has a flaming cough, then burnt sugar will suit him? It will just heal. Because vata dosha how does it behave? This is air, it is light and mobile. Yes? And the sweet taste is kapha. What will she do? Extinguish this mobility. Right? By the weight of his own, he will add. That is, in this case, candies will help very well, for example, sweet ones, and so on. Licorice root for example. Is it sweet, raw, licorice? And if you give sputum to someone who is accompanied by sputum, it will become even worse. So any disease can be classified into these doshas. Understandable, right? Question from the audience - How do they poop pita dosha? - And they are most accompanied by an inflammatory process. Throat red. Most often they cough up blood. It's clear?
00:06:55 So, let's look further. In what cases… (Question from the audience - *inaudible*). What? (Question from the audience - *inaudible*). Well, what do you think? kapha-doshuhow can be suppressed? With the help of what primary elements? (Answer from the audience - *not heard*). Dry it, yes. Right. Fire. Dry. If it dries out, then what happens? Water dries up, ama remains. With the help of air, you can dry it, and you can burn it with the help of ongy. Therefore, ginger, for example, can help in such situations. Some hot spices. Do you understand? When there is kapha when there is a lot of mucus. For example, put black mustard on your wrist, you can tie it, you can eat it. You can chew. You can suck, so you can too. Kapha will decrease. Why do people lose weight in summer and get fat in winter? Have you noticed that you always lose weight in the summer? More fire. Agni. And what is winter? Kapha. Now look outside. Natural kapha. You see, in pure form. Therefore, heaviness, drowsiness manifests itself. Everyone shows up. It is somehow difficult to move, I want to lie down. Yes? It's winter, especially spring, the severity increases even more in early spring. That is, when this slush gets divorced. This is kapha.
00:08:33 Let's look further. So, by nature it is heavy, cold, oily this taste. Therefore, we eat sweet plants. Plants, vegetables, fruits, most of all that will have a sweet taste, will increase kapha dosha. It's clear? This is how you can test. Sugar cane, dates, figs. All these foods will increase kapha. By the way, will bananas increase kapha? Yes. Bananas can make you fat. Here Indians are all so plump. Bananas, when they eat a lot - growth begins. They are like potatoes, these bananas. (Question from the audience - *inaudible*). No. Well, if you eat bananas every day, then you can do this ... that's who wants to get better, he can eat bananas. It’s also inaudible to add a sweet taste, for example, sugar, some kind of syrup to make. Jam - what is it? kapha. Kasha - what is it? Porridge? Well, any porridge? Look at the composition. Earth, water. The porridge itself is kapha. Understandable, right?
00:10:19 So, sweet taste, it is very nutritious, gives strength, satisfies hunger. Why, when a child overeats sweets, does he not want to eat? Not only a child. Why is this happening? Think. He ate sweets before dinner - that's it, his appetite was gone. (Question from the audience - *inaudible*). Yes. Earth, water. Fire - what is it? It is the appetite where there is fire. He crushed him. Now, what is the conclusion? We ate hearty and cake - one, and sweet tea - op. Clear? And the end. The fire of digestion stops instantly. Even just a glass of water you drink after a meal - that's it. There will be digestive problems. You extinguished it, but water extinguishes it? So what is the conclusion? Water can be drunk before meals. And after eating, you can drink a little water to clear the esophagus. Well, do not get drunk, like we have, tubs. Gulls are chased for two hours ... This is a very bad habit, so many diseases arise. (Question from the audience - *inaudible*). two hours after eating. You can drink. What can you drink? No. Sweet. Drink sweet. You can eat sweets after meals, but not in large quantities. You can eat a little bit, get a sweet taste, but if you, like that, half a kilo of cake ... it will be too hard. Sweet taste is needed. Necessarily. You need to finish with a sweet taste, but within reasonable limits. Understandable, right?
00:12:12 So, kapha increases ojas. Ojas- this is vitality, reserve. Therefore, when they overeat sweets, after the cake, everyone starts chatting. When a person is weak, it is difficult for him to speak. It means no ojas. Ojas literally means life force, that which gives strength. Therefore, the sweet taste should be given to those who are debilitated. A person is weakened, dystrophy, or, let's say, a person after an operation, when strength is needed, the doctor can already be started., Some kind of sweet fruit. Will recover well. Sweet taste gives rise to love and satisfaction in a person. In general, the sweet taste, in itself, gives the character of the subtle body, the character of love and contentment. This is the taste of happiness. Therefore, it is so dear to everyone, sweet taste. Everyone likes. It's clear? And what is the conclusion? Women are most attached to the sweet taste. And it is described in the Vedas, that women should eat sweets every day otherwise she will have hormonal problems. What is it connected with? This is due to the fact that women, by their nature, they give happiness to everyone around them, they are designed for this. Therefore, their need for sugar will be greater than that of men. If a woman eats a sweet taste, gets it, she feels very good. This is a necessity. Well, if the sweet taste at night, then this will be a problem. Happiness will go to excess fat. It's clear? That is, she can carry some candy with her, she gets some kind of stress, and she feels a bad mood - she needs a sweet taste, sucking on a candy - everything will be fine. This is recommended for women. In men, the sweet taste can cause laziness, apathy. Can cause strong attachment to pleasures. Therefore, it is not recommended for men to eat too much sweets. That is, for men it will be destructive. By the way, men are so especially attached to him and not attached to this taste. There is - there is, but there is no such shaking. Men prefer grains, spicy food, something like that. fiery. Yes. Well this is sunny nature, male. The woman is lunar. Ojas is also associated with the moon. Ojas is the moon. Sweet taste is also associated with the moon. Therefore, a woman - she loves everything sweet. Yes? Sweet speech, sweet smile, everything is sweet. It has to do with the moon. It's clear? So, more often if men give wives sweets, sweets, they will create more happiness in their family. This is how it is described in the Vedas. It's necessary. It describes that women should have sweets, should have beautiful clothes and jewelry. They depend on it. These are not just whims - this is an addiction, natural. A man should have respect and status. Respect. This is his position in life. He does not need all these trinkets, he needs other things.
00:15:45 Strong attachment to sweet taste indicates influence modes of goodness. Therefore, people who drink often, they are not very attached to the sweet taste. Nobody eats candy. It's rare to see this. What usually goes with beer? Taranochka, something so rotten, right? Pickled cucumbers there, or salted. That is, they are similar in nature. Understandable, right? So, Sweet taste have products containing in their composition starches, proteins, carbohydrates. There is a sweet taste in buckwheat, rice, Jerusalem artichoke, it is also present in white flour, in bananas. A lot in sugar cane. Sugarcane - the purest sugar is considered. Pita diseases can be treated with the sweet taste. That is, those who have a constitution pita dosha, him and good sweet taste. If it started to start, let's say the pits often start. They love it. M-m-mmm - and he went, he went, he suffered. We need to plant him, give him something sweet - that's it, he will calm down. The burning fire goes out.
00:17:05 So, nervous food related diseases how will they manifest? Impulsive character, incontinence. If you look at such a person, his eyes are wild. Therefore, you can give sweet fruits, for example, to children who are prone to such diseases. Nervous children. Sometimes nerves are connected with vata dosha, happens with pita, happens with kapha. Kapha - they are just "stupid", slowed down, do not understand anything. A pita dosha When it gets out of balance, the nervous system becomes inflamed, they behave very impulsively, they can swear at everyone, scream. It's clear? pita so it appears. Being angry is the first sign, if angry, it means pita. cotton wool it starts behaving like this, it turns like this. Here is a child when he sits at school, that's how he turns it all around, he cannot sit straight, like a top. It's here vata dosha behaves like this. When vata, a person, is out of balance, he cannot sit still. Wind, yes. And they say it's windy in one more place, right? Not just like that. Duet, actually. Therefore, the sweet taste is very good for such people - both cotton and pita. Soothes. Kapha is deadly.
00:18:30 Next moment. This is how hepatitis is treated in India. The patient is given a mango. And he eats mangoes, and nothing else - he eats one mango. Until the sweet taste returns. Such a way. sugar cane such diseases can also be treated. All in all, pita diseases are treated with sweet taste. Such a hunger. Therefore, whoever has an inclination is out of balance, pitas often, he needs to include a sweet taste in his diet. Clear? So, this taste will be matched by a sweet smell. Very pleasant smells. Got it? Sweet taste. So, you can test the herbs.
Sour taste
00:19:27 The next taste is sour. The sour taste is made up of earth and fire. Therefore he hot, heavy, wet and oily. This taste raises kapha And pita dosha but at the same time it reduces vata dosha. Therefore, it is recommended in large quantities to people of vata constitution, and people of pita constitution should practically eliminate it from their diet. The main quality of this taste is the following - perfectly cleanses the body. Due to what is this happening? Fire. And since he has earth and fire, therefore, fire will penetrate into the tissues. That's why lemon cleanses the body. If a person, he has a constitution, let's say, kapha And pita together, can you give him a lemon? The lemon itself kapha. Yes? And pita. And a person also has kapha and pita. And you load it with sour taste, load it - what will happen? Him pita will increase and kapha will increase. And how does it manifest itself when pita and kapha have increased? How can it show up on the body? A very simple option. (Answer from the audience - *not heard*). Yes, once. Well, what else is characterized? Pita - what is it? Fire. And if it is defiled by the earth? Fire carries the earth throughout the body, and what begins? Acne, pimples, begin to crawl out on the body. Therefore, it is very easy to determine if pita increased in a person whose constitution is together, he has kapha and pita together, pustules begin to appear on his body. When too much out of balance, what kind of disease occurs? Chiri, abscesses. We added a sour taste to it - even more of it. It's clear? That's why pite sour taste - not very good. Pete needs a sweet taste.
00:21:49 So, it cleanses the body, thins the blood, sour taste, refreshes the senses, normalizes digestion, promotes weight gain, relaxes and promotes normalization blood pressure. Sour taste gives rise to envy and curiosity in a person. Envy, by itself, has a sour taste. Therefore, people who are very envious, they will have something to raise? In body? Acidity. The fire will be poisonous to appear in the body, and it will crush it. Envious people are very sour by nature, they have a sour mine, everyone is so dissatisfied with life, everything is in a sour light. And usually they are drawn to sour. Usually. How can you tell if you have jealousy or not? It's not one hundred percent so you can say that if he likes sour, that he is envious. Well, if he pathologically wants to eat sour, then he has a deviation in consciousness. That is, it always pulls. A person strives for excessive happiness, he wants to be very happy, he does not know how to do it differently, he will press on sweets. That is, normally, these tastes will give health, and when busting begins, diseases arise. Bust occurs when I really want sweets, and in the morning, and in the afternoon, and in the evening, and at night, and I always want sweets, which means that destruction begins. kapha increases. If I constantly envy everyone, I want to constantly eat sour meat. He does not just eat this food all the time, this is already a disease of the mind. Therefore, he is drawn to products. It's clear? For people with pita diseases, especially with quartzites and high acidity, this taste is categorically contraindicated. I have a sore for some reason, I need to clean myself, lemon - time. Cleaned up. No ulcer, no person. Nobody here. The patient felt better - he stopped breathing. This is very dangerous because taste, it affects the primary elements.
00:24:02 Taste can heal- just keep the taste on the tongue, without even swallowing. Will heal. The longer you feel the taste, the stronger the effect will be. Swallowed - everything, the action stopped. It's clear? Everything dissolves there, it no longer has strength. So, products containing organic acids have a sour taste. For example, yogurt, there is a sour taste, lemon, sorrel, tamarind. Well, in general, products with a sour taste. The sour taste reduces the production of semen in men. Therefore, it can harm the conception of a child. A man needs to eat more sweets. And if they want a boy to be born, then the woman needs to eat, that is, exclude the sweet taste. That is, a man should eat sweets, and she should eat hot taste, fiery. The composition of the primary elements is changing, there will be a boy. If she eats a lot of sweets, a girl is likely to be born. Such are the details. Therefore, in the Vedas, it is recommended, for example, that women fast before conception. Let's say for some taste one. Let's say apples or pears. Do not eat anything sweet, cakes. There will be a greater chance of having a boy. This is due to the fact that if a woman had more secretion at the time of conception, then a girl will be born, if a man has a boy, then a boy will be born. And if he ate too much of a sour taste, little secretion is released from him, and it is sweet - that's it, kapha increases. kapha is just these elements of secretion. Is it clear what it is connected with? Here are the secrets. Can be used.
00:26:04 There are other details like that. If the odd day after the end of menstruation - girls are born, even - boys. Everyone has an individual, that is, it is counted. Then if all this is observed, then you can accurately, by order, get the sex of the child. Clear sky - a boy, clouds - a girl. A hurricane on the street - there is a danger of the birth of a bad child, that is, some impious person may come. A hurricane, some kind of elements, cataclysms, means that the stars are unfavorable. A hurricane if, in general, a thunderstorm, for example, on the street ... there is no conception. It is necessary to take into account such things. In no case should you conceive children when some cataclysms are going on. That is, The theory of tastes is very strongly connected with the birth of a child. This is a separate issue.
salty taste
00:27:14 So, salty taste. Salty taste is fire, and...? And who's to say? Is there fire there? How can we see fire? Salt, what do they do with salt? She eats away. Right? Sprinkle salt on the wound. What will happen? It will start burning. So there is fire. Sprinkle sugar on the wound - nothing will happen, and salt corrodes immediately. Sprinkle salt on the ice - the ice will melt. I mean, look what happens. We don't really see the fire, but when we talk primary element - this means it is not visible to the eye but it is present and active. So, what is the second quality? Not quality, but ... (answer from the audience - "Water"). Water. Right. Salt strongly draws water into itself. Everyone knows this. Means in an organism salt will influence what elements? What will happen? Fire and water will increase. Therefore, when a person drinks salty water, for example, or eats salty water, what does he want? (answer from the audience - "Water"). Water. Why? Lots of fire. And salt retains water in the body. Therefore, whoever has problems, for example, swells, or it is difficult for him to urinate, water does not come out, but he loves salty things. (remark from the audience - *not heard*). Not like salt. Salt holds it strong. Sweet too, right, because water is a primary element. It will hold water. But with a salty taste, what will happen? The water element becomes hot, but when it tastes sweet, the water element becomes what? Cold. So what is the conclusion. What is the nature of blood? Watery. (The answer from the audience is “Yes”). This means that the element of fire will increase in the blood. So? What is the next logic? The pressure will rise. Quite right. That's why, hypertensive people need to know. Salty - khryap, everything - wait for greetings.
00:29:44 Question from the audience - "What is the norm of salt we have?". Answer - “If you have hypertension, then you literally need to eat on time, and very little. A little. Slightly overdose and all. The pressure may rise. »
00:29:54 There was such a case in India. One guy died. Went to an unintelligible doctor. And he was wrong. And what happened there? He had symptoms of poisoning, and salt is a good remedy for poisoning. Salty water. He was nauseous, but he had severe, high blood pressure. Just an elementary thing. Look, when a person is proud of knowledge, he already neglects some things. First - do not measure the pressure. For what? Do you understand? Why, I already know. I just didn't check the pressure. Symptom ... but deceived ... the symptom showed poisoning. In fact, the pressure was raised. Sometimes it happens when high blood pressure- sensation of poisoning in the body. And he dilutes salty water for him, from poisoning, he drinks - a stroke in 5 minutes. All. That's the same after drinking, you can kill yourself. Do you know how? Salty pickle. Clap. Why does salty pickle make it good? Because the pressure can be either increased, if it is lowered - lucky. What if it's increased? He doesn't measure. Clap, a glass of salty solution - ready. It is very dangerous. Most often, after drinking, the pressure is low, most often, therefore, it helps. Well, there are people who have increased.
00:31:33 So, salty taste. Increases the fire, which means it will increase the appetite. So, who will be good salt to go? People of kapha constitution, because salt will dissolve this earth element, warm it. And they usually like salty things. And they love sweet, and they love salty. Usually these people overdo it. And what seems terribly salty to us, it seems absolutely normal to him. How does it happen? For example, Indians can chew chili calmly, like we do. bell pepper. No problem. Have you ever tried chili? Real. Real chili. Yes, it’s ... no, in the Caucasus it’s not chili, but I’m talking about Indian chili. Here, in short, it falls on your hand - there is no skin. It just burns right through. Just on hand. They brought me chili, I just pulled out the seeds from there with gloves on. And then I went to the bathroom, washed my hands properly, and it still burned. Even where they touched, and who walked after me, they say: “What is this all about ?! Horror!". This is a terrible thing, so chili is by no means good for Russian people, just here. But they eat it the way we eat bell pepper. So easy, in a salad. He takes a pod, so - crack, and nothing. What is it connected with? If the body has the power of fire, then it will not feel this burning sensation, it will not affect it. Do you understand? And if you have less fire, and there is more in pepper, it will burn you. Here's a simple test. You can tell if he's salting, salting, salting, salting. One slightly salted - it is salty, and the other is not enough, it seems not salty, which means his dose. All. The balance has happened.
00:33:40 Each person has an individual body. You must understand this. individual constitution. The amount of fire, air - also in proportions. Everything is individual. But I do not advise you to eat chili - this is a very dangerous thing, so look at the seasonings. If they are mixed with some other herbs, then more or less, but in its pure form, you can immediately get an ulcer. Chilli. Ulcer from the first spoon. Many people like to increase their appetite, or, they say, it's good for digestion, peppers swell there. So remember, in order to increase the fire of digestion, you do not need a spicy taste. What will the spicy taste do? He just strains his stomach and that's it. To increase the fire of digestion, balance is needed. You need solar fire. Pungent taste is Martian fire. We already got into astrology. All the peppers are all Martians. What are the peppers doing? They dissolve, break down. Pepper does the same thing, it gets on the skin, it splits, breaks, spoils. And the sun, on the contrary, gives energy, so soft, gentle. Here Bulgarian pepper is very good for our region. Everyone here loves him so much. A very good thing. But the Eskimos will find this pepper very spicy. They will tell you how you eat it, it's spicy. And we are fine. There is less sun and Mars is there, blessed, and so strong. Understandable, right? Salty taste. This taste reduces cotton wool . Is it clear why it does not leave the body? Water. Everything that comes out, stands out, moves - this is the action of vata. If vata is suppressed, what arises? Stop motion. Everything starts to pile up.
00:35:40 And so, salt promotes digestion, generates thirst and hunger, retains water in the body, and causes weakening. With this taste, you need to start eating. You can just take a little on your finger, like this, salt, and rub your tongue. And if you wipe your tongue with salt, digestion also increases, you can even not swallow. Just rub it on the root of the tongue and spit it out. And digestion will be cleansed. That is, just getting a salty taste is enough. It is not necessary to eat it, in batches, salt. So if you know ancient recipe in Russia is still preserved: heat salt in a frying pan and apply to sore spots when coughing? But what kind of coughs is it good for? Fire?. When accompanied by mucus. With vata cough is also good. Will it go with a drink? It won't work when drinking. For Kapha and Vata.
00:37:09 So, if you mix sour taste with salty, what will you get? Get a sweet taste. Sprinkle the lemon with salt. So, lemon with salt relieves the temperature. Take a lemon, sprinkle with salt, and eat, the temperature drops in the body. Such an old recipe. So, salty taste, its subtle nature. We have just talked about the coarse elements, now - about the subtle ones. The subtle nature is greed and dissatisfaction. Therefore, if there is a tendency to be greedy, you want something salty. When a woman wants to give birth very strongly, she is pregnant faster. Yes? She wants to give birth faster, she wants salty. This is also a kind of greed. Why else do you want salty? Because the child who is already in the womb, he appeared for what? To enjoy, and his desires are activated there, and he begins to pull on himself. I also want salt.
00:38:23 Greed can be of different types. Greed for pleasure, for example. Greed is in the battle of enemies. Greed in battle means - does not share emotions with anyone, not to say hello - this is greed in battle. Greed in the mind, manifests itself - I want to study everything in a row. You read all the books. It is necessary, it is not necessary. Greed in the mind manifests itself in what? Argue with everyone, all the time. That is, it manifests itself in different ways. But all this increases the desire to eat more salty foods, and too much salty food leads to diseases. These are all the primary elements that make up salt begin to increase in the body. So, it is considered that white salt, it is not the best, very heavy food, clogs the body. There is another salt, called black. Have you heard? She has such a smell, hydrogen sulfide, and the taste is completely different. So here sea salt is made up of water and fire, A black salt is made up of fire and earth. Here is someone who has pita dosha, black salt is very good for him.
00:40:01 Black salt is mined in the mountains, and sea salt is white salt, it is very heavy. Well, she's a marine anyway. So, plants that have a salty taste. This seaweed. Here is the smell of the sea, it smells of salt. Why do you want to eat after the sea? Who was at sea? Noticed? I bought, swam - I want to eat terribly. Why, why? The element of fire. The Vedas describe that who have digestive problems, you need to swim in the sea, the ocean more often. You can heal your digestion. If there is no sea, then what can be done? Salt bath. Accept. Understandable, right?
spicy taste
00:40:53 So, spicy taste. Spicy taste consists of, how do you think of what elements? Well, what does the word sharp mean? (answer from the audience - "Fire"). Fire. Water?! Where you see water in spicy taste. Here, focus on the spicy taste, here's how it behaves. Is there air? If you overeat pepper, what can be? Let's start looking, right? Hiccups, burps, huh? Then what? There may be diarrhea. Do you know about it? Here from a chile diarrhea quickly arises. That is, everything begins to actively move in the body, move actively. Means the element of fire and air. Sharp taste. Therefore he light, hot and dry. See? That he acquires the qualities of these 5 primary elements. Hot, dry, light. This taste increases pita and vata dosha. But it will destroy kapha, it will simply destroy it. So look at Indians. They are all like that, right? So frail, so dried, right? Here are dried Africans. Where there is a lot of sun. All kinds of people are like that - kapha prevails. kapha, see? Because this is the same place where kapha dominates. White people, yes? Especially the Russians. All whites are like that, they are all like that. (Question from the audience - “And the southern ones?”). Southern, they are so thinner. They may be strong, but thin. Especially the Indians. Especially in southern India, you will not see a single fat person there. All are skinny. Even cows walk like that. Our cows are all fat. That is Each region has its own dominant dosha..
00:47:04 The pungent taste dries out the body. And the biggest difficulty lies in the fact that if a person is weakened, and you give him more spicy taste, he will become even worse. The spicy taste is good to treat kapha diseases when it is still strong. mustard yellow- Russian spice. Especially for Russia, it was given from above. Consists of two flavors: spicy And bitter. Very strong antivirus. Very powerful. Previously, he was covered in socks. Do you know that this is the Vedic way of healing? Here it is, fall asleep. Not to eat, but to impose. This is a typical Vedic recipe. Actually I studied Russian folk recipe ancient, studied. Do you know what I noticed? One to one. And we among the people have a very strong propensity for herbs, such folk treatments, it pulls very strongly. There is such a tendency in Russia. There is no such tendency in the West. This once again indicates that the mind and the great civilization are on fire. There was a lot of knowledge. These are the herbs that are passed down from generation to generation, right? Here are the dynasties even in Russia remained. This is nothing else than in the past there were kaveradzhi. These are the thermal doctors. It just passed on and that's it. Gradually they are now leaving, knowledge is being carried away. So incomprehensible and disappeared in Russia ... So - mustard. What is she doing? How is mustard doing? If you look at it, the nature of the mustard. Just imagine, viruses are sitting like that in a tavern, right? In body. La-la-la. La-la-la there they have. Yes? Tusa they have there, tusa. On - on ... on - on. This is where the virus sits. Mustard is included. Mustard, you know, masked police. Omon. Omon in short. Silently they enter like that, they put everyone on the floor, they just wring it, they take it out one by one. And without talking, everyone on the floor. Mustard works that way.
00:49:25 Do you know how black pepper works? Black pepper. It's even tougher than mustard. That is, mustard gently removes them, and black pepper simply shoots on the spot and that's it. Without thinking. It breaks in from all directions of the world, from the windows there, from the doors, such ninjas just break in shorter, break in, cut off everyone's heads and that's it. This is the behavior of black pepper. If you look at it, meditate on black pepper, look at it. He has such a look. Not fragrant, but black. Warrior, right? Such a harsh one. And mustard is ... Mars is blessed there, everything is so calm, he tied everyone up, brought them out, that's all. Subconsciousness, meditation on character can give many things. Many things can be understood. How can you treat. So, in principle, spicy taste, it will affect a person, and especially microorganisms, very strongly, suppress them, will not let them. Africa will make them there simply and everything. They won't be able to survive there. Therefore, the flu can be treated very effectively. Black mustard...no. mustard yellow And black pepper. Even two of these herbs will be enough to destroy a simple flu. On the right hand, tie the right leg. It doesn't matter that you ate it, that you tied it. Well tied stronger will act. All. The guys finished their party. (Question from the audience - “Do you have black mustard too?”). Yes. A child can, here is a small child, you just pour it into his socks, or sprinkle a little mustard right on the sheet, such prevention. Everything, they put a shirt on him - he is sleeping. That's it - the virus will not be there, because the energy is coming. Energy. If it doesn't work, you can add St. John's wort.
00:51:16 How is St. John's wort behaving? Look, black pepper, for example, shot, someone survived, hid somewhere. Everyone, they left, curled up. Then these guys come in, in short, they check, they make a control shot. So who else is left? Did you stay? Finished off. This is how St. John's wort works - this is its nature. In short, St. John's wort is such forest brothers. They hide like this, waiting in ambush, looking for when someone will get out the horns, once they shoot him. Snipers, in short. Here. Exactly. Cuckoos. This St. John's wort, that's his character. The animal approaches the St. John's wort, he really likes the smell, you see, he lured it. Makes traps. Once - ate, poisoned. St. John's wort - beats animals. Doesn't hit a person. St. John's wort is a very powerful thing. And if you use the roots, the roots of St. John's wort, in general, the roots - this is Mars, very strong there. In the same plant, put the root and will destroy any infection. Especially, this boundless infection, Escherichia coli, in the mouth when the infection appears. Here St. John's wort calculates them well and quietly them like this - chuk-chuk-chuk-chuk, without revealing itself, in short, it acts. The virus does not even notice that there is already some kind of danger for it, because, look, modern antibiotics are all that is happening? Why does addiction occur? The virus is intelligent. They are also living beings. They also resist, they also have protection, they want to live. Once, there they are all, Shukher! there, Hide!, they all adapt there, that is, they go even deeper into the cells, they try to escape. But they don’t notice the St. John’s wort, he quietly, like a spy comes in, quietly, quietly like that, chug - one, chug - the second. That's how it works. (remark from the audience - "Make tea with him"). Yes. Fine. Yes, you can tie, bandages can be done - very effectively. You can suck in your mouth, also very effective. (question from the audience - “Which is better to tie to?”). I'll explain to you later, at the end. Now this is a separate issue.
00:53:22 So, look how to test grass. How will it affect you. And not only herbs, generally illegible. Take, say, a root, and chew it. If a sharp taste appears, then it will kill viruses, dissolve something, dissolve. It's clear? The good ones won't kill. That's the difference from an antibiotic. An antibiotic is like an atomic bomb - everyone. Herbs are selective. They will destroy only those who are evil in nature. And they won't even notice. This is the advantage of herbs. Herbs are very selective. They have a completely different character. What is an antibiotic? This is a large bacterium, it gets there, just eats everyone and that's it. Sometimes you can use it, well, we see what it leads to, that is, completely dysbacteriosis occurs, a violation of the microflora, that is, it destroys everything. Atomic bomb. Here garlic also acts like an atomic bomb. Baba, everything, no. Neither their own, nor others. It's clear. So, spicy, spicy smells correspond to spicy taste. So, if the herb has this taste, then it will have such healing properties.
bitter taste
00:54:44 The next taste is bitter. (addresses the staff - The window does not open in any way, right?. We need to open the window. We need to open it a little, otherwise we will suffocate). So, bitter taste is made up of air and? AND? Well, where do you see the fire? Bitter taste. Just passed, fire. Air said. AND? Ether. Dry and cold, increases which dosha? Vata dosha. They say - carminative herbs. Vata dosha. If a strong wind arises, what happens to the fire? Either it burns up strongly, or it goes out. Right? You can put it out with air, or you can kindle a fire. (addresses the staff: Open, open, open. A little, let it blow for about 5 minutes, otherwise we will suffocate here.)
00:55:57 So, let's talk about the bitter taste. Therefore, the bitter taste will actively influence what? cotton wool what does it do in the body? Air is movement, movement, movement. If you have eaten a bitter taste, the movement increases. So what will happen? Constipation will heal. Why can't he get out? The air moves slowly. The intestines are like a tube, rolled up. Air pushes out. Not gases, do not confuse, but the primary element of air. Causes muscles to contract. The same thing happens in the vessels, they vibrate. This is the action of the air. The heart beats under the influence of air. That's why, if you overate the bitter taste, drank indistinctly, your heart may beat strongly, you can earn arrhythmia. There may be overkill. So, the bitter taste removes everything superfluous from the body, that is, it is good for cleansing. It's clear? (remark from the audience - "Wormwood") Sagebrush a very good thing, it expels all unnecessary from the body. For example, a person's kidneys do not work well, water accumulates in the body, the bitter taste will be removed.
00:57:28 So, if there is too much. May cause hallucinations. Wormwood does such things. And her heart can. Everything is possible. You can dry, excessively dry the body. Fire can burn and air can dry. The skin will start to crack. What else can happen? Increased heart rate, there will be too much air in the body, convulsions, spasms. Therefore, no one likes the bitter taste especially. Nobody likes him. But in small quantities it is necessary, but we avoid it so carefully. You need a little bitter taste, just a little bit, so that the air moves normally in the body. Well, in what? Let's see the bitter taste. viburnum, Rowan. Yes, all of these are foods that have a bitter taste. So, the main qualities of this taste: it has anti-inflammatory properties, cleanses the body of and we, that is, from toxins, promotes weight loss, that's who wants to lose weight, wormwood can be tied with calamus to the zones, the weight will go off. How is it happening. Look - women immediately, "which side?" Grapefruit, grapefruit for example. Wait to bind. We now let's study. Even just if a bitter taste appears in your food, a little bit, some foods will have a bitter taste, it will already be good.
00:59:38 So, it cleanses the skin. But in large quantities, the bitter taste gives rise to depression, longing, resentment, melancholy. Winter is a bitter taste, so you want more mustard in winter. I want mustard. In winter, even normal bitter taste, eat mustard. Winter means longing. Yearning. Everything is asleep, everything is dead. But it is dangerous to get involved in it, it can lead to depression, therefore, if a person who is prone to depression, give him a bitter taste, drink wormwood - everything is ready. So he clears the mind of stupidity. The bitter taste well neutralizes the sweet. How does this happen? A man has eaten sweets, he has heaviness. He ate a slice of grapefruit - he feels good. That's it, this is the balance. Too much sweet taste means that the subtle body cannot stand it, and bitter taste brings it into balance. Therefore medicinal herbs, they are all bitter. Noticed? Mostly. Why is this happening? Because the bitter taste, it opens your eyes to the truth of life. Bitter taste gives a person the ability to get rid of the feeling of pleasure. After all, feelings cause disease? Cake ate, ate, ate, ate, ate, ate - ate, arrived. It's blown. Now you need to sit down on bitterness. Bitterness comes, it takes off the sweet taste that you have accumulated. Do you understand? These are measures, everything is done in moderation.
01:04:26 So, an astringent taste. Consists of air and earth. He binds everything in his mouth, right? Such, actions are constrained. Blocks air movement immediately. The air becomes heavy, stops. Heavy and dry. This taste increases vata dosha, while lowering pita And kapha dosha. Therefore, people of vata constitution are not recommended to press on it, so to speak, but it is useful in pita diseases. The main properties of this taste is that it creates constipation, stops diarrhea. For example bark, oak bark. Is there an astringent taste? Eat. And what else does it taste like? Astringent. Basically, the astringent prevails there. Is there a bitter? Well, most of all knitting. And what's going on? Is it clear why the diarrhea stops? It stops, with the help of an astringent taste, the movement of air is blocked. What is diarrhea? Let's take it indiscriminately. The large intestine is the seat of vata dosha. By the way, we didn't. Write it down. Large intestine, there is a place of localization vata dosha. This is his original homeland, where he lives, cotton wool. Where does Pita live? Where does our fire live? pita. Right. Here. And even more precisely, not even in the stomach, but in the small intestine. Who lives in the stomach? Who lives in the stomach and lungs? kapha. We put food there, see? Gross matter is food. And in the small intestine, it turns into such a liquefied state. There, acids begin to mix with food. Yes, small intestine? Therefore, most often an ulcer occurs in these places. The stomach, yes, there is also pita there, but most of all, kapha is still there.
01:06:37 So, an astringent taste. Oak bark. Vata-dosha when it can no longer drain, just imagine, this is a fiery liquid lump that moves into the large intestine. Here he got. And there lives cotton wool, air. And what's going on? Drainage, this mass of food. Dehumidification takes place, evaporates the water, so the stool comes out. It's clear? And if the air does not move, does not dry, then this chyme that has passed through the intestines also continues to come out. Usually, with diarrhea, there is a burning sensation in the anus. Yes? This means diarrhea is nothing but what disease? What dosha is associated with? Disorder what dosha. pita. And the color is Pitovsky, look, bilious. pita in its purest form. And it can no longer be absorbed into the intestines, so this fiery environment enters the large intestine. It shouldn't be there. Therefore, the astringent taste neutralizes these actions, stops, blocks, extinguishes pitu. Very good for ulcers. For example, pomegranate peel, immediately stops diarrhea. Peel, pomegranate - fruit, bark. Astringent taste what will it do in the body? Earth means splicing. It will pull everything. So, it will tighten ulcers, wounds. Therefore, we will treat these diseases with what herbs? Astringents. Quince e.g. astringent taste. What else do you know? Persimmon. That's right, astringent taste. Right. What else? bird cherry...All these plants will treat these diseases. But, if you continue to get carried away, for example, with oak bark, what can happen? Then they turn into spasms, another problem begins, constipation has already begun. Everything is overkill.
01:08:45 The idea is that all this needs to be stopped on time, that is, in balance. Balance. Don't get carried away. So, it clogs the channels, promotes wound healing, helps blood to clot. Those who have poor clotting should use herbs with an astringent taste. So, the subtle nature of the astringent taste is fear, self-doubt, anxiety, the ability to self-criticism and honest recognition of one's shortcomings. By the way, here green walnut has an astringent taste, a very healing thing. Tea and all products containing tannins. In fact, the astringent taste gives rise to tannins. That's why oak, we see that it does not rot, it is very strong. The same thing will happen in the body. Medicines that have an astringent taste treat diarrhea, bleeding, hemorrhoids, and so on. So, an astringent taste will have an astringent smell. Question from the audience - "Do you need to make tea from it, from oak bark?" The answer is “Well, whatever you want. You can even bind, you can drink. As you wish."
01:10:12 So, look how you can use this knowledge. Let's say a person haemorrhoids bleeding. How will we treat? Let's understand from the point of view of dosha disturbance. What is hemorrhoids? Dropout, yes, first happens? And why does it fall out, what is the weakness? Earth. The earth element is weak. So? And inflamed. What's this? What is it, what taste? Astringent. Will strengthen the earth and extinguish the pita. See? Astringent taste. You can also make these tampons. Decoction of oak bark. Tampon. Inject directly into the sore spot, it will be good to help. You must understand the very idea. Don't try to be technical. Ayurveda it's a creative thing. It's not technical. So. Vienna. varicose veins. What element? What element is violated? Why did the veins suddenly become dilated? Problems with what? With earth, with air, with ether. Earth. And if there are already blood clots? What are thrombi? Accumulation of what? Is it air? Air is hypertension. If the poisons are already accompanied, then the fire is already gone. Poison means fire. Thrombus - what is it? Clot - what is it? Learn to think energetically. Not just a blood clot, but meditate on the elements of the element, on the element. What element? Earth! Earth. What is she doing there? The earth is in the wrong place. Everything, it is necessary to dissolve it. What will we dissolve? Fire and air. Be very careful with this disease - it's dangerous. Blood clots are very dangerous to treat.
01:12:59 Hernia. Let's take it easy - here's a hernia. What happened? What is a hernia? The fabric doesn't hold up. Right? For example, an umbilical hernia - the tissue has torn, the intestine falls out. The fabric doesn't hold up. What is missing? Forces. What is no power? Earth. The earth gives strength, strength. Therefore, once they sewed it up - in another place a hernia flew out, they sewed it up again - and there it flew out. And usually, those who have a hernia, they usually have hemorrhoids, usually they have a problem with the veins, organ prolapse begins. So? We see that the disorder is going on throughout the body, associated with which element? Earth. What is the way to treat all this separately? Just take and strengthen the earth element. So what flavors will we use? Which? Sweet shall we use? We will. What else will we use? Will we use a binder? We will. (from the audience - Sour!) Sour? How sour something, sour will destroy the earth. Think. Will make it even worse. It's clear? Well, let's take another example with the earth. What are earth related diseases? The same. The main mistake is that we try to look at our disease - kapha. A illegible shows where to meditate. On the elements. Look at the elements. Not on the disease, but on the element itself, which is out of balance.
01:14:39 Arthritis. Why do bones grow? What is arthritis? (Answer from the audience - "Earth ..."). Yes. It can continue inflammation, and if the joints are already increasing in size? Already the earth is increasing, and if it is increasing, then the fire is also increasing. Therefore, many people say that they put a bottle into the water - it becomes good. Easier. And to the other, on the contrary, pain comes from water. See? Everyone is different. Therefore, you need to know which dosha is out of balance. Land is clear, right? Let's now with the element of water. Water when out of balance, too little of it happens in the body? (Answer from the audience - "The fire will increase"). The fire will increase, right. There is no balance anymore. What else will happen? Everything will dry. Right? I tongue will dry, lips will dry. The skin will start to crack. Cracks are starting to appear. Cracks can appear not only on the skin, but also where? (Answer from the audience - "On the feet"). On the feet, in the intestines. And especially the cracks can appear in which intestine? Thick or thin? In thick. You see that most often these diseases occur there. Cracks. Because this is the place where air lives, cotton wool. If it accelerates too much, it starts draining everything. And that's it, techinki arise. It's clear? The hair is the same, the nails are cracking, splitting. Air. Fragility appears, fragility.
01:16:23 Vata diseases always accompanied by severe pain, such a sharp, penetrating pain means vata. Shooting pain. Shas, for example, is a typical vata disease. Air. It moves very strongly, very sharply along the nerve - pain occurs. (Question from the audience - "Well, what to do?"). Well, what to do, it's three years of university. What to do? I am now explaining to you simply the principles, no matter how you are not going to be treated, but you can maintain balance with the help of food. Do you understand? We are now studying food. That is, if you have a tendency to some diseases, for example, fissures in the intestines, this means that you cannot eat food associated with vata dosha, which excites vata. So, what is best for vata to extinguish its opposite properties. So. cotton wool- light, right? Light and cold. Air, when strong, what arises? It's light, and it's that hard air. He always has the quality of cold. And take the oil, for example, melted butter, look at him. The direct opposite of cotton. Directly proportional in meaning inversely proportional. Opposite. So what will the oil do? Extinguish air. So how can hypertension be treated?. Weakly, if you smear it on your left hand, the air descends. Or a spasm, a spasm in the head. What is spasm? Let's get a look. Spasm is what? Vessels cannot vibrate normally, elasticity is lost. What is it connected with? With what element? Vibrations, movement - what is it with us? Air, cotton. There is a spasm. Not so much in the head, in any body, anywhere can occur.
01:18:19 Let's take the head. So, you take melted butter, and so you smear your temples, right here, right here, and on the handles, into these sunny zones. The spasm is gone. Why? Vata dosha water is harmful. She has accumulated there and stands rigidly. Do you understand? And we pushed her out of there. Same spasm of the intestines. Everything, bent a person in half, just rub melted butter into his stomach. Everyone lets go. Women's diseases, or when the cycles go - spasms occur. It also helps a lot. Has anyone tried oil like this? There are such people? Eat? Did it help? And fast. Without any pills. This is how you can heal wool-disease. So, if air accumulates in the intestines, then what is needed? You can rub melted butter into the intestines. Right there, into the skin. Air will come out. Let's say if it hurts, ache in the joints. Here is the word aches - it means dry hard air. She's not sharp, but aches? So he twists his arm all the time, you don’t know where to put it, such pain is very unpleasant. That means air is in there. What will we treat? Here it is done with oils. Oils. The most harmless ghee , the most effective, it fits everything. There are other types of oils, well, that's what specialists should do. Ghee. Camphor is very cooling. Here camphor cools. If you make camphor oil for yourself against rheumatism, you will aggravate the disease. There will be more cold. Camphor is used for inflammation. Therefore, when the ear is inflamed, camphor oil goes. And if it is cold and there is an accumulation of cotton wool, nothing will help. You need to know for sure. So, camphor oil, Coconut oil . What does the coconut do? Cools. Right. Therefore, coconut oil relieves inflammation. You need to know exactly which one heats and which one cools. But ghee is a universal thing because it is a product of a cow, and a cow is a sacred animal. (Question from the audience - “what about Ghee?”). Ghee is clarified butter. Ghee. Why is she sacred? Because all its products act universally. For example, if a person has little fire, he increases it, if there is a lot of it, he reduces it. Can you imagine what it does? It is inappropriate to even think of anything, you just take it and smear it. You don't have to be a great Ayurvedic doctor. It is clear what is the benefit of it? They don't use it now, do you know why? Because it is very expensive, and if you just use ghee, a lot goes to the body. And this expensive thing. Therefore, cheap ones take oils. Well, in order to deeply treat such diseases, here, for example, arthritis accompanied by inflammatory processes. Here you can use ghee with dry cow dung. Have you passed through milk at all? (Answer from the audience - "Yes, yes").
01:21:39 What is cow dung. There is air. And he is very cold. And ghee is warming. If you mix in proportions correctly, you will have a balance. As the Chinese say, yin and yang. There will be a balance. Everything will be back to normal. But this is a whole science. So ... We all passed, right? No, not all. Let's see how they act ... cotton wool understand? Well, let's look at some more examples of diseases. (Question from the audience “What about vegetable oils, sunflower oil?”). Very warm and very deep. Melted butter very gently warms, smoothly, it excites nothing. It just warms up gently, removes everything that is not needed from the body, and vegetable oil is very exciting. Clarified butter has the character of the mode of goodness. Goodness, pure goodness. And vegetable oil already possesses the mode of passion. Therefore, when a person is in such a state, in a dull state, he needs to be stirred up somehow, vegetable oil is used. Let's say a strong hardening, or something frozen. Sometimes it happens that even a gui is not enough to get there quickly. He needs time, but we urgently need to warm up urgently. Then vegetable oil is used. (Question from the audience "corns calluses?") Well, yes, that's when you urgently need to immediately do resuscitation. And ghee is better to treat, treat this disease.
01:23:09 That is, when the product is in passion, it is used in resuscitation. Right now, all our modern drugs are in the mode of passion, in intensive care. That is, he stuck a needle, once - his eyes are like that, everything - came to life. It's clear? This is also necessary when it is a matter of life and death, such resuscitation is needed. And in order to heal, you need blessed drugs. Therefore, in nature there is both. Even the mode of ignorance is needed, to some extent. For example, the disease progresses very actively, for example, some kind of tumor. Grows. This is passion. Developing. To stifle its growth, you need a plant in ignorance, let's say poplar, root you bet. He - boom, as if given in the head. All. The tumor has laziness. We introduced it into ignorance, and it stands like that, does not develop. It's clear? That is, all three gunas are needed.
01:24:01 So, how else do you vata dosha leads? Well, we talked about spasms. The pain is strong. It can accumulate in those places where they actively move. For example, you write with your fingers, you type often. Maybe vata dosha pile up here. Therefore, people, dentists, when they work for a long time with these drills, their fingers start to hurt. These printers, these stenographers, are also their occupational disease, arthritis sets in. Air begins to accumulate there, begins to inflate the bone. The bone inflates. Like popcorn, seen, is made, puffed with hot air, and corn, it becomes porous. The same thing happens in the bones. So oil here oil can neutralize these things. So, the following ... (Question from the audience - "there in some proportions?"). Yes, Proportions are being made, this is a different story. You won't understand right now. There you need to make sure to fit your body. And, kapha we were considering. kapha is pollution, toxins, fillings. Vata can also accumulate - either in the intestines, or in the bones, or in the vessels. Either it becomes too much, or too little. Next, the next thing we haven't gone through yet? All. All three doshas.. Now questions.
Questions

This is another question. Where to take it. Can I order. We have people who do this, bring it. You will hardly find it in the markets. In general, I want to tell you that only now in Russia they are slowly starting to somehow become interested in spices. But there are a lot of these spices. After all, spices are gold, gentlemen. Previously, entire caravans came with spices. They were worth their weight in gold. Because spices are not just delicious, they also give health. Previously, they were treated only with spices. There were no all these modern drugs.

And how to increase the memory, improve it?
Memory is already a problem with the mind. It is necessary to do breathing exercises, and throw away excess clothes. Because our mind is connected with every thing. When she lies, there is a lot of unnecessary everything. And all this is in the mind, our memory is simply clogged and we can no longer control these things.
When consumed in excess, the salty taste causes thirst, lethargy, a burning sensation, and muscle wasting. It makes the blood thick and viscous, causing an increase in blood pressure. The salty taste worsens the condition of the skin, causes wrinkles, promotes tooth loss, graying and hair loss. The salty taste increases the acidity of the stomach, promotes the development of gout and other diseases, mainly related to Pitta.
spicy taste
Pungent taste increases Pitta and Vata and reduces Kapha. Effect on the body: warming.
The pungent taste is matched by a spicy pungent smell. They have a spicy taste:

Having a drying effect on the body, it reduces the amount of fat and promotes weight loss.
The bitter taste is not very pleasant, but it restores the sense of taste, enhancing the sensation of other tastes. Bitter taste should be consumed in small quantities. If a person is naturally thin, i.e. Vata constitution, he does not need a bitter taste. Medicinal herbs Vata constitution should be consumed with honey.
With excessive use, the bitter taste gives rise to depression, longing, resentment, melancholy. If a person is drawn to bitter food, it means that he lives in anguish. Alcohol has a bitter taste.

An excess of astringent taste causes congestion of blood vessels, pain in the heart, premature aging. Excess astringency can cause malnutrition, convulsions, facial paralysis, stroke, and other neuromuscular disorders of Vata dosha.
Tea and coffee spoil the stomach and extinguish the fire of digestion. The habit of drinking tea or coffee immediately after eating stops the digestive process.
mixed tastes
Foods and plants rarely have the same taste, but usually one of the tastes predominates.
Sweet and sour tastes are often combined in various fruits, such as oranges, apples, pineapple, hawthorn. They are very good for Vata. The sweet taste is often combined with astringents, as, for example, in persimmon, pomegranate, elm, water lily, comfrey and lotus. Herbs with a sweet astringent taste are especially good for Pitta, but can be difficult to digest. Sometimes sweet and bitter tastes are combined - for example, in licorice. These herbs are also especially good for Pitta. Sweet and spicy flavors can be combined, as in ginger, cinnamon, fennel. Such herbs are especially good for Vata.

Some foods and herbs contain three or more flavors. To determine the effect of such products and herbs, their thermal effect and the effect after digestion are important. Herbs with multiple flavors often have strong effects or a wide range of effects.

The main types of taste in humans
Let us consider in more detail the main types of taste in humans, clarify what they are associated with and how they affect our health and behavior.
Sour taste. This taste always depends on the pH value of the liquid. The mechanism of perception of sour is similar to salty. All acids react with water to form hydrogen ions (H+). It is they who give the solutions a sour taste. By the way, acetic acid and in general, everything sour in Greek is called "oxos". However, some weak organic acids and hydrolyzable ions (such as aluminum) can also cause astringency.
Products that have a sour taste contain organic substances, have high acidity. They are very useful for digestion - they actively promote the absorption of food, effectively break down fats.
The intensity of the sour taste sensation is approximately proportional to the logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions. This means that the more acid in the food, the stronger the sensation of sour in the person's mouth.
A certain group of people, let's call them prone to alcohol abuse, have such a condition as withdrawal syndrome (colloquially, a hangover). And in this state, for some reason, they want something sour.
If a person likes sour, he is usually able to make spontaneous, creative decisions. However, such a person does not tolerate pressure on his psyche from outside. In the event of an attempt to dictate your conditions to him, you can encounter resistance in the form of an emotional explosion. All this sooner or later leads to health problems.
The feeling of a lump in the throat, frequent deep sighs, a noticeable decrease in visual acuity, insomnia - these are the few that are hidden behind the beloved sour taste and liver problems. People with a weakened liver are irritable, easily break into a cry and fall ill with the same ease. But there is a combination this case more favorable for the normalization of relations internal organs, is a combination of sour and spicy.
Let's clarify which foods have a sour taste. These are the most diverse products that have a pronounced sourness. First of all, these are fermented milk products, all kinds of citrus fruits, unripe berries and fruits, as well as many varieties of wine. In general, all those products that are produced through the fermentation process. This list includes beer and vinegar.
A sour taste is associated in humans with lightness, a lot of moisture. If eaten wisely, foods with this taste will help refresh, energize and prepare the stomach for eating. Acidic foods contribute to the secretion of gastric juice, as well as better digestion of food.
Acidic foods are fluid, light, warming, moist in nature, and anabolic in action. When consumed in moderation, these foods are refreshing, tasty, stimulate the appetite, improve digestion, energize the body, nourish the heart, enlighten the mind, and promote salivation.
With the excessive use of sour-tasting foods, the teeth become brittle, there is increased thirst, rapid, reflexive blinking, the acidity of gastric juice increases, heartburn, acid indigestion, ulcers and perforations appear. Since the sour taste causes fermentation, it is toxic to the blood and can cause skin diseases such as dermatitis, eczema, edema, furunculosis and psoriasis. Its hot properties lead to a shift in the acid-base balance towards acidification, acidosis, which is expressed in a burning sensation in the throat, chest, in the region of the heart, bladder and urethra.
As a consequence of all this - heartburn, discomfort in the abdomen, ulcers can form.
Because most acidic foods are closely related to fermentation, they overuse threatens with skin rashes of various etiologies: from dermatitis to allergic eczema. Teenagers may develop pimples and blackheads.
At the same time, in order to cleanse the skin, you do not need to take various aggressive lotions and products, it is enough to reconsider your diet and exclude salty foods.
In more advanced cases, excess acid leads to a deterioration in the functioning of the heart and urinary system. In short, by eating a large amount of sour-tasting foods, you risk the health of your gastrointestinal tract.
salty taste. Its carrier is sodium chloride, or common salt, especially the Na+ ion. The quality of taste varies from one salt to another, as some salts produce other taste sensations besides saltiness.
Interestingly, the words "salty" and "sweet" (formerly called "licorice") have common root. They came from a word that meant strong taste sensations, as opposed to insipid, unappetizing food. We often add salt to food to enhance other taste sensations, to make food brighter. Salty and sour tastes perceived by us at the same time actively interact. This makes it difficult for us to understand which one is stronger. If you put sour on one half of your tongue and salty on the other, your body will be at a loss, feeling both of these tastes alternately.
Recall how an abundance of salty food causes an indomitable desire to drink after eating it. It is easy to guess that the salty taste is the initiator of the work of the kidneys, because water is the element related to the kidneys.
Salty eaters tend to be shy and often prefer certain types of entertainment. In modern terms, this is the so-called extreme vacation, which in fact is not a vacation at all.
Again, it is difficult to imagine a person who loves snowboarding and at the same time is the owner of fragile, prone to brittle bones. Bones - the zone of control of the kidneys: "strong" kidneys - strong bones. However, an extreme fan's addiction to salty taste can easily be replaced by a love for sweets, in which he unexpectedly discovers new shades of harmony.
Consider another example - a certain part of pregnant women simply adore everything salty. And this is also natural, since from the point of view of Eastern theories, a person is born from a kidney. The future mother, bearing a child, literally gives him a part of her kidney for a while. Hence the need for additional initiation of this particular body.
Another thing is the so-called weak kidneys. This category of people is distinguished from the general mass by the weakness of the spirit. Their lower back and knees will be weak. They complain that their feet are constantly cold, they are making noise in their ears.
The salty taste of food is created by combining the elements of Water and Fire. Salty taste is very easy to find. This is just salt, both ordinary rock and sea salt. Salty taste warms a person. This taste is considered moist and heavy.
If you use salty foods wisely, then in this way you can activate the metabolic processes in your body. Foods with a salty flavor have laxative properties, as well as an analgesic effect.
Salty food is involved in the regulation water balance human body. This is one of the strongest flavors. It makes our food much tastier, is directly involved in the digestion of food, as well as the removal of toxic substances.
However, addicted to salty foods in large quantities, you can get pressure surges, the skin becomes drier. The result is hair loss and skin aging. And that's not all. Ulcerative lesions on the skin, heartburn, pressure - all these are consequences overuse salty.
Sea and rock salt are common examples of salty-tasting substances that have a warming effect. It is heavy, moist and hydrophilic in nature. Salty taste has a laxative effect and reduces spasm and pain in the large intestine. As well as the sweet taste, it has an anabolic effect. In moderation, it helps maintain water and electrolyte balance. The salty taste is so strong that it overshadows all other tastes. It stimulates salivation, improves the taste of food, aids digestion, absorption and elimination of waste products.
However, too much salt in the diet leads to excitation of a person, and his blood becomes thick and viscous, which causes an increase in blood pressure and worsens skin condition. Excessive salt intake can cause a feeling of heat, fainting, premature wrinkling and baldness. Due to its hydrophilic properties, salt can cause swelling and water retention in the body. There is hair loss, ulcers and bleeding. Reader, know that there are cracks in the skin, hyperacidity and high blood pressure may be the result of excess salt intake.
sweet taste. Sweet taste is not associated with any one class of chemicals. Substances that cause this taste include sugars, glycols, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, amides, esters, some amino acids, some small proteins, sulfonic acids, halogenated acids, and inorganic salts of lead and beryllium. Note that most of the substances that cause sweet taste are organic substances. It is especially interesting that little change chemical structure, for example the addition of a simple radical, can often change the taste of a substance from sweet to bitter.
Sweet taste is felt when eating food rich in simple carbohydrates - sugar or glucose, therefore similar products should not be carried away by those who are inclined to be overweight. However, the same sensation arises from glycerin, some protein substances, amino acids. One of the chemical carriers of "sweet" are hydroxo groups in large organic molecules - sugars, as well as polyols - sorbitol, xylitol (well-known sweeteners).
The sweetest edible and harmless substance patented by Japanese scientists is methylphenyl ester-L-A-aspargyl aminomalonic acid. It is 40,000 times sweeter than sucrose. To make the contents of a tank car with a capacity of 60 tons sweet (such as ordinary tea with two tablespoons of sugar per cup), just three drops of this acid are enough.
Have you ever wondered why most sweets are children? But because sweet lovers are distinguished by a stable atmosphere in the family and the absence of any obstacles to their own development. After all, it is known that the younger the child, the less he cares about the problem of well-being in his family.
The harmonious content of sweetness in food contributes to the normal functioning of the spleen. A person who eats sweets in moderation is an ideal business partner, you can always rely on him. He can easily focus on the essentials, capable of productive mental work. But as soon as he overdoes it with sweets, stubbornness, excessive concern for personal safety will be found in him.
Ask sweet lovers why they like to mourn so much in the fall? Their lyrical mood often takes on a poetic form on paper. True, for some reason there is a constant weakness in the arms and legs. Sometimes this weakness can be expressed in a reluctance to talk to anyone.
People with a weakened spleen are dreamers whose plans are unlikely to materialize in real life. Their main tendency is to introspection, they are searching for non-existent reasons for what is happening or what happened a long time ago.
What is a midlife crisis? People with a weakened spleen, reaching middle age, suddenly begin to understand that the goal they have been moving towards is either ephemeral or simply does not exist. Hence the easily occurring depressive states.
Most people with a sweet tooth prefer either a change from sweet to sour or, even better, sweet and sour. This is only at first glance a simple combination, but in fact it is an attempt to independently balance the relationship between the liver and spleen.
Consider how sweet taste affects our body. Let's start with foods that have a sweet taste. Sweet taste is present in foods such as sugar, milk, rice, wheat, dates, maple syrup, licorice root. Sweet food contributes to an increase in energy, which is associated with the vital activity of any living being.
Like all other tastes, sweet-tasting foods should be eaten in limited doses. If you do not overdo it with sweet foods, then you will notice its positive effect.
The main rule of nutrition is to maintain a balance of all tastes. It is in this case that a person’s skin will acquire a healthy shade, hair will begin to grow better, a person will become calmer, more peaceful. By eating foods that belong to the group with a sweet taste, you can prolong life, cure some diseases. The sweet taste is closely associated with joy and happiness.
But if you get carried away with everything sweet, the result will be completely opposite. As a result, the balance of vital energy in the human body will be disturbed. Sweet tooth faces frequent colds and coughs, indigestion, apathy and fatigue. All kinds of edema and diabetes, stagnation in the lymphatic system, tumors and indurations - all these are the consequences of an excessive passion for the sweet taste.
Generally sweet tastes have moisturizing, cooling and heavy properties. Sweet taste increases vitality. When consumed in moderation, sweet-tasting foods will have a beneficial, anabolic effect on the body, promoting the growth of plasma, blood, muscle, adipose tissue, bones, bone marrow, and reproductive fluids. Correct use sweet foods benefits and increases life expectancy, sharpens the senses and improves complexion, has a healing effect on the skin, hair and voice. It brings stability and cures exhaustion.
bitter taste. As with the sweet taste, there is no single chemical that causes the bitter taste. Again, nearly all bitter tasting substances are organic. Bitter taste sensations are caused by two special classes of substances:
Long-chain organic substances containing nitrogen;
Alkaloids.
A bitter taste of high intensity usually causes a person or animal to refuse food. This is no doubt an important function of the bitter taste, since many of the deadly toxins found in poisonous plants are alkaloids, and virtually all of them taste intensely bitter, which usually leads to rejection of food containing them.
It is no coincidence that the so-called heart preparations have a characteristic bitter taste. For some reason, lovers of "bitter" become talkative after being "taken on the chest." Have you ever paid attention to the ease with which they find an interlocutor? But don't limit yourself to addiction to alcohol, because there are many other examples of a preference for bitter taste.
Easily and naturally, those people who like grapefruit more than orange or lemon win their favor. But there is another extreme: the more a person's love for bitter taste is expressed, the less talkative he becomes, and ultimately prefers to be more silent.
Bitter taste is the rarest among human foods. Bitter tasting foods are hard to find in our everyday cuisine.
Examples of the bitter taste are found in bitter melon, turmeric and dandelion, aloe, yellow sorrel, fenugreek, sandalwood, rhubarb, and coffee.
As a rule, bitter foods are not accepted as a separate dish. They are used in addition to more traditional dishes. Bitter foods are designed to emphasize a less intense taste. ordinary food. Bitter food is an excellent means of preventing colds, it easily copes with viruses. That is why these products are recommended in the treatment of various infectious diseases.
Bitter taste in small quantities promotes weight loss, removes excess fluid, activates all the processes of the human body. Such a useful property as fat burning has long been adopted by leading nutritionists and doctors.
In case of excessive passion for food prepared from bitter foods, a person becomes aggressive, bursts of unreasonable aggression occur. The skin loses elasticity, acquires a characteristic gray tint, early wrinkles and loss of tone. Even impotence is possible. Fans of dishes with bitterness often feel dizzy, fainting occurs.
Being tasteless in its pure form, the bitter taste enhances, emphasizes other tastes. It has an antitoxic effect, kills microbes, soothes burning and itching, helps with fainting and skin diseases that are difficult to treat. The bitter taste reduces the temperature during fever, strengthens the skin and muscles. In small doses, it acts as a carminative and digestive tonic. Due to its drying properties, it reduces the amount of fat, bone marrow, urine and feces.
Excessive consumption of bitter taste can deplete plasma, blood, adipose tissue, bone marrow, sperm, leading to impotence. Extreme dryness and rudeness in human behavior, exhaustion and fatigue of the nervous system can be the result of the abuse of bitter. At times, such people may experience dizziness and loss of consciousness.
Sharp taste. This is a kind of intermediate taste that is present in foods and spices such as onion, radish, cayenne pepper, black pepper, chili pepper, garlic, mustard, ginger, asafoetida. By its nature, it is light and dry, which has a warming effect on the human body. When used in moderation, the spicy taste stimulates digestion, absorption, and cleanses the mouth, and frees the sinuses by stimulating nasal secretions and watery eyes.
However, apart from positive effect, spicy taste with its immoderate use in everyday nutrition can lead to negative reactions. It can have a detrimental effect on spermatozoa and eggs, leading to sexual weakness in both men and women, causing burning, suffocation, fainting, fatigue with heat and thirst. This may cause diarrhea, nausea and heartburn.
From the abuse of spicy food, dizziness, tremors, insomnia and pain in the muscles of the legs are possible. Septic ulcers, colitis, skin lesions can also result from an excess of spicy foods in your diet.
Excessive consumption of a spicy product or spice literally hurts our lungs.
Astringent taste. This is another of the intermediate flavors. It should be used with caution. Astringent foods include unripe bananas, pomegranates, chickpeas, green beans, yellow split peas, turmeric, lotus seeds, alfalfa sprouts, mango seeds, arjuna, and alum. These are all examples of astringent-tasting foods.
The astringent taste causes a characteristic pressing sensation of dryness in the throat. By nature, astringent taste is cooling, dry and heavy. It absorbs water from the human body and causes dry mouth, speech difficulties and even constipation. At the same time, the astringent taste helps in the healing of ulcers and, by stimulating blood clotting, stops bleeding.
Excess consumption of astringent foods can cause suffocation, refractory constipation, bowel weakness, weak voice, and heart spasms. It can deplete the ability to produce sperm and reduce sexual desire, exacerbate neuromuscular wasting and neuromuscular disorders such as seizures, Bell's palsy, stroke-induced paralysis, etc.
Surely, after trying products that have a pronounced astringent taste, you felt like itching in your throat. A large number of astringent food provokes constipation and cough, impotence, convulsions and even paralysis are possible. has a negative effect on nervous system and mental health of a person. Astringent taste depletes the energy reserves of the body. The person becomes overly nervous, there is a tremor of the hands and other limbs, eye twitching and spontaneous muscle contractions.
Mixture of tastes. It is interesting that a person perceives the taste of all purely bitter substances in exactly the same way. If we equalize the intensity of sensation from the taste of a solution of opium, strychnine, morphine, quinine, then they become indistinguishable. The same thing happens with sour taste: solutions of hydrochloric, nitric, sulfuric, phosphoric, formic, oxalic, tartaric, citric and malic acid indistinguishable in taste.
A similar story is observed with sweet taste. Sweet substances may have a more or less pronounced taste, but if it is purely sweet, then their solutions are almost indistinguishable.
Our food most often consists of a mixture of tastes. For example, sour-sweet taste is characteristic of many fruits, sour-salty is inherent in pickles, bitter and sweet merge into peculiar taste characteristic of chocolate. Some combinations of flavors are unpleasant to us.
For example, bitter and salty, bitter and sour. Many people are disgusted by them.
Already 3000 years ago, Eastern doctors knew that the products in different time Years affect a person in different ways. In each season, the work of a particular organ or body system is activated. In order for them to function without failures, you need to eat foods of a certain taste at a specific time of the year. According to the principles of this seasonal diet, there is no harmful or healthy food: any product, depending on the season, can stimulate the organs or interfere with their normal functioning.
It should be noted that in the East, unlike Western countries, the year was divided into five seasons: winter, spring, summer, autumn and off-season - a transitional period between winter and spring, spring and summer, summer and autumn, autumn and winter.
In every season, there is a basic, dominant taste. In addition, there is a complementary taste, which also has a positive effect on the body, although not so pronounced. There is also a neutral taste - it will neither harm nor benefit. And yet - a negative taste: if you eat a lot of such food, it will have a bad effect on health.

From the book A healthy man in your home author Elena Yurievna ZigalovaThe organ of taste The organ of taste is formed by many taste buds located in the thickness of the stratified epithelium of the lateral surfaces of the trough-shaped, foliate and mushroom-shaped papillae of the tongue, as well as in the mucous membrane of the palate, pharynx and epiglottis. Humans have about 2000 taste buds.
From the author's bookThe organ of taste "... Doesn't the tongue recognize the taste of food?" - the biblical Job asks and affirms (Job, 12:11). To eat means to take food with pleasure, and the metaphysical meaning of the verb "to eat" is very capacious - it expresses not only the sensations of pleasure, but also suffering. Human
More recently, the question of how many tastes there are would have been answered unequivocally - 4 tastes. Bitter and sweet, sour and salty. Just as unequivocally once upon a time they answered about the number of human feelings - five. Then a mysterious and obscure sixth sense arose.
The number of tastes that humans recognize
But however now the question of the number of tastes will cause the answer that there are five basic tastes. These are the four listed above and one more was added to them, about which they sometimes write that the name has not yet been invented, and sometimes they even call a new taste - umami.
This taste is reminiscent of the taste of soy sauce, we also feel it when we eat tomatoes.
In fact, this is monosodium glutamate, but it is still difficult to say whether it can be attributed to separate species taste or it is a taste enhancer that sharpens the four basic tastes, exactly how many tastes a person distinguishes.
It should be remembered, however, that all other tastes that we perceive cannot in fact be considered separate tastes. They are a combination of four main ones, selected in different proportions.
Basic flavors
Which foods are best suited to the main tastes?
- sweet taste in glucose;
- bitter taste in quinine;
- table salt has a salty taste;
- original sour taste belongs to lime.
Most often, products have a combined taste. Let's say an apple can be sweeter or more sour. It depends on the combination and proportion of sweet and sour tastes.
We like some combinations of flavors and some we don't. Pleasant include sour-salty and sweet and sour tastes, and bitter-sour and bitter-salty are mostly unpleasant for humans.
Taste is perceived by us due to the presence of taste buds located on the entire surface of the tongue.
The bulbs are located on the border of the taste nipples, and each nipple can perceive a certain taste. It is thanks to them that we know how many tastes a person distinguishes.
These papillae cannot directly convey taste information to the nervous system. To do this, they allocate chemical substances, transmitting further taste sensations through the nerve channels.
Where and how tastes mix
It is not yet possible to say exactly which part of the body is responsible for the combined taste sensations and where exactly the tastes are mixed. This riddle is still not solved by scientists.
There is another "tasty" hypothesis that suggests that there are more than five tastes. Scientists tend to recognize a new taste - fatty. Although it is still not known exactly whether it can be considered a taste, or better attributed to textures.
There are several other flavor candidates: metallic flavor, soap flavor, alkaline flavor, mint flavor, spicy taste- this is a far from small and incomplete list of candidates for recognition. Whether they are recognized or not, the future will show, but the answer to the question of how many tastes exist will be far from unambiguous.
