हर चाय में इलायची
नहीं डाली जाती,
क्योंकि यह बढ़ाती है
इज्जत चाय की,
और इसे
पीने वाले की भी…
🍵 ☕ 🍵 ☕ 🍵
Cardamom is not added
to every tea,
as it enhances
the prestige of the tea,
and also of the person
who drinks it…

Thank you, Kaushal, for this exotic suggestion about drinking tea. I can see that my plain tea, just lemon or milk, no sugar, doesn’t add prestige to my tea or to me.
But I have cardamom in my kitchen!

It’s not a suggestion, Joanna. It’s just a statement of fact. Though I’m not a habitual tea drinker, just try once having milk tea with cardamom. You will relish it, I think.

I had to look it up; cardamom is used for a healthy liver, perfume, soap, etc. As I am diabetic, this wonder spice will be on my grocery list! I wonder what it would taste like in bulletproof coffee?! Thank you, KK!

Thank you, Susan, for your comment. If you google, you will find many health benefits like lowering BP and sugar level. Adding it to milk tea gives a pleasant flavour and taste. Just try it once. But not in coffee, please.

Not much! Ayurvedic practitioners are also less, but certain branded medicines are available across counters.

True. And, I feel like I am on all of them which is why I am looking for alternatives. I want to come off some of, if not all, of them. According to my numbers, I have reversed my diabetes, but it still flares high if my emotions get rallied up.

You’re right, emotions, feelings, stress etc are the reasons of distress. If you’re able to reverse your diabetes, you should continue with the present medication.

I quit taking it 2 months ago. My doctor knows and has me drinking over 100 ounces of alkaline water per day. I changed my diet which reversed the diabetes.

That’s really good to learn. Someone was suggesting alkaline water for treating acidity and gas troubles too.

It works wonders. There is a thing called a water wand. $6 on. Amazon. Turns tap water into alkaline water. Works up to 100 gallons! I use one.
