The Taste Map of the Tongue You Learned in School Is All Wrong
- Sweet
- Sour
- Salty
- Pungent
- Bitter
- Astringent
Each of these tastes has specific functions in your physiology, either for energy (macronutrients) or healthy information (micronutrients), so it is important to try to get each taste in every meal, or in a day while favoring the tastes that are better for your current dosha imbalance and reducing the ones that will get you more out of balance.

What can I do to move me closer to Wholeness?
In the book, You Can Heal Your Life, Louise Hay says that diabetes is caused by not realizing the sweetness in life, which you can take to mean as not living in the moment, or by complaining and therefore, not praising what good things ARE abundantly available.
So, here are some things to remind yourself if you would like to heal from either type of diabetes, remembering that you must EXPECT IT, DESIRE IT, AND BELIEVE THAT IT WILL HAPPEN.
If you have limiting beliefs in any of these three topics, you will not achieve your goal. But, if you really expect to heal, you desire it greatly, and then also believe that it will happen (as it has for so many of BOTH types) then it will–as long as you don’t offer a lot of resistance around healing.

In the Mirror look into your left eye and Say:
“Every day, I love finding lots of things I appreciate and love about myself, and I’m going to spend some time just thinking about those things now…(do this on your own but keep it general)…I love how I’ve overcome lots of obstacles only to find success, I appreciate how good I feel outside and in nature. I so enjoy looking at the trees and flowers, and seeing animals. They always make me feel so good. I love the smell of the ocean, the smell of forests, the feeling of sitting under a tree on a warm day, and the crisp autumn air. I love knowing that my appreciation helps me feel good, but also helps anyone who notices it as well.”
Imagine and Angel or a beloved one listen to you as you say:
“I know that my current physical conditions (whatever they may be) are temporary and that feeling better and thinking better comes easily to me.
My life force is strong, and flows easily, just like breathing air, in and out.
