Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Daikon is a large, long white radish from Japan. It's considered very healing in macrobiotics. You can eat it raw or cooked, and you can eat the green tops as well. They sell it in Asian markets and in healthfood stores and at the farmers markets even. In sushi restaurants, it's often used as a garnish, finely grated in long strings. - T --- wrote: Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2005 07:21:16 -0800 (PST) From: Ginger Ballard <gbredbone@...> Subject: Re: apple cider vinegar and Daikon Apple cider vinegar is an avoid.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Since we were talking daikons the other week... Carrot-Daikon Drink To eliminate excessive fats and help dissolve hardening accumulation in the intestines. Grate 1 tablespoon of raw daikon and carrot. Cook in 2 cups of water for 5–8 minutes with a pinch of sea salt or 7–10 drops of tamari soy sauce. Daikon Radish Drink Drink No. 1: May reduce a fever by inducing sweating. Mix 1/2 cup grated fresh daikon with 1 tablespoon of tamari soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon grated ginger. Pour hot bancha tea over this mixture, stir, and drink while hot. Daikon Drink No. 2: To induce urination. Use a piece of cheesecloth to squeeze the juice from the grated daikon. Mix 2 tablespoons of this juice with 6 tablespoons of hot water to which a pinch of sea salt has been added. Boil this mixture and drink only once a day. Do not use this preparation more than three consecutive days without proper supervision, and never use it without first boiling. Dried Daikon Leaves Used to warm the body and treat various disorders of the skin and female sex organs. Also helpful in drawing odors and excessive oils from the body. Dry fresh daikon leaves in the shade, away from direct sunlight, until they turn brown and brittle. (If daikon leaves are unavailable, turnip greens may be substituted.) Boil 4–5 bunches of the leaves in 4–5 quarts water until the water turns brown. Stir in a handful of sea salt and use in one of the following ways: 1. Dip cotton linen into the hot liquid and wring lightly. Apply to the affected area repeatedly, until the skin becomes completely red. 2. Women experiencing problems in their sexual organs should sit in a hot bath to which the daikon leaves liquid described above with the addition of 1 handful of sea salt has been added. The water should come to waist level, with the upper portion of the body covered with a towel. Remain in the water until the whole body becomes warm and sweating begins. This generally takes about 10 minutes. Repeat as needed, up to ten days. Following the bath, douche with warm bancha tea, a very small pinch of salt, and juice of half a lemon. Grated Daikon A digestive aid, especially for fatty, oily, heavy foods and animal food. Grate fresh daikon (red radish or turnip may be used if daikon is not available). Sprinkle with tamari soy sauce and eat about 1 tablespoon. You may also use a pinch of grated ginger. Suzi Senior Moderator What is a weed?
