Taste Of Herbal MSM

The method of taking Ayurvedic Herbal MSM is like nothing you have ever heard of.  It will not harm you to ignore these instructions, but you will not get full benefit of the Herbal MSM if you do not heed these instructions.

First, the logic behind taking the loose Herbal MSM into your mouth, tasting it, etc., is initially explained HERE.  This is the link to the explanation of the Principles of Ayurvedic Medicine, written by the creator of Herbal MSM -- Dr. Ayyangar.  If you study this area further you will find many promoters of Ayurvedic remedies who pander to the Western sense of sugar coated pills, and who give Ayurvedic Medicine a bad name for not being effective because the true delivery method is hidden.

Next, I, Karl Loren, have also written on this same subject HERE.

I do count on you reading these two sections.

Herbal MSM, like any honestly presented Ayurvedic Remedy, should be tasted in the mouth.

This means that you take the loose powder into your mouth and contact it by moving your tongue and mouth -- while saliva is building up in the mouth.  The purpose of taking it into the mouth is so that the very special enzymes you have in your saliva can mix with the Herbal MSM.

If you do not get a flow of saliva you may add water to your mouth instead.  If you wish, you can also mix the Herbal MSM with water and then drink it slowly. Do not use hot water and do not use a soda instead of water.  Fruit juice is OK to use, but not canned or processed -- only fresh.

While that mixing is going on, you automatically get the contact between this mixture and the mucus membranes of the mouth -- the part of the mouth tissues where components in this mixture are being absorbed.

There are a very few substances in the Western World which are "sub-lingual" or "sprayed" into the mouth -- the concept generally behind this method of use is because the tissues in the mouth are particularly absorbent, and also close to major channels for blood in the body.

This mixture is very different from what the same herb would be like if it skipped the mouth (as in swallowing a capsule) and got mixed with the "juices" in the stomach. The enzymes in the stomach are very different from those in the mouth.

This herbal MSM needs to be mixed with the enzymes in the mouth, and held in the mouth for a short while (one minute is plenty) so that certain components can be absorbed into the body directly through the tissues of the mouth.

You may be tempted to bypass this method of administration on the basis that you don't like the taste.

I'd like to address the taste issue below.

If you use the capsule form of Ayurvedic Herbal MSM, you have been instructed to pull the capsule apart (easy) and dump the contents onto your tongue.  You will be getting about 1,000 mg of Herbal MSM from one capsule.  You could dump more than one capsule onto your tongue, as you find practical.

If you use the loose powder, I suggest you use a regular teaspoon, dip it into the powder and put that onto your tongue.  A heaping teaspoon will hold about 5,000 mg.  A level teaspoons will hold about 3,000 mg.  The level teaspoon would be a good amount to start with.  If you get the results you want, you can decrease the quantity of Herbal MSM to see how much less you can get those results with.

If you do not get the results with a level teaspoon, you can wait about three days to see if repeated use will do the job.  If you wish, you can then increase the dosage, gradually, to about three heaping teaspoons per day. That would represent about 15,000 mg of the powder, per day.  It would be very safe to take more than that, but you might begin to decide that this Herbal MSM is not going to do what you want.  You have the choice of an even larger dose, or giving up.

You then allow those contents to come into contact with the inside of the mouth, moving them around with your tongue.  You'll find that the saliva starts to flow very quickly.  (If it does not flow within about 30 seconds, you can take a small swallow of water into your mouth, and move the mixture, as the Herbal MSM is dissolving, around in your mouth.)

Smoking tobacco will reduce the effectiveness of using Herbal MSM.  If you do smoke you should at least not smoke for at least 30 minutes before or after using Herbal MSM.

It will usually take less than 30 seconds for the Herbal MSM to dissolve in your mouth.

Here is an important factor to keep in mind.

You will experience a smell of the Herbal MSM when you first open the jar.  Then there will be a texture of the materials on your tongue -- while the Herbal MSM is still dissolving the texture will feel somewhat like small grains of sand (and liquid) in your mouth. This is not unpleasant, and you will undoubtedly get used to it.  It is the smell of fresh Ayurvedic herbs which have been concentrated by a proprietary cold extract process.

Next is the taste.

It has been widely reported that various parts of your tongue taste different substances.  Click here for information on that.   When you put the Herbal MSM into your mouth you may find that if you keep the substance in the FRONT of your mouth, it has virtually no taste.  You can, if you wish, keep the mixture (powder and saliva/liquid) in your mouth for some time, in the front of the mouth, without any significant sensation of taste.

In the front of your mouth, as it is still dissolving, you will be aware of the texture -- something like small grains of sand in a liquid -- the mixture gradually changing to all liquid (dissolved powder).

As this mixture starts to touch the middle and back of the tongue, and mouth, you may get the actual Herbal MSM taste.  From my experience with many people taking the Herbal MSM, some enjoy this taste as a "natural fresh food" taste while others dislike it. It is also true that many of those who dislike the taste, initially, find that it is tolerable within a few uses, and enjoyable after several more.  This is certainly NOT the same taste as plain MSM. Plain MSM has none of the "fresh food" taste of the Herbal MSM.

In any event, your desire to alleviate the pain you may be suffering, and avoid toxic drugs (and also to avoid the high cost of most of these drugs, compared to Herbal MSM) should usually be enough to be willing to continue to take the Herbal MSM on a continuing basis.

This has been a long explanation because the Western World is used to drugs that have either no taste, or are deliberately (in liquids) mixed with sugar or other flavor enhancements which would destroy an Ayurvedic remedy and/or make it easy to bypass the tissues in the mouth for that all-important absorption.

This is a whole new approach to "taking" medicine.  This "medicine," of course, is not a drug.

I encourage you to follow this procedure carefully, and write to Karl Loren about your experiences.
