The Truth About Grinding of Flours -

Maharishi Vagbhata wrote the Ashtāngahridayasaṃhitā (अष्टाङ्गहृदयसंहिता), which were then propagated by the late Rajiv Dixit. Here are some facts that you didn’t know about the use of flours milled industrially.

The Value of the Chakki
Wheat flour should be eaten in a max of 15 days of being ground. Makki, chana, jowar etc should be consumed in 7 days. A survey done in a few villages studied 90 ladies who were using Chakki (hand-mill) and not a single one had a caesarian delivery, no pains in body, diabetes, BP etc were absent. Women who buy atta from market, are affected with all these ailments, and so are their family members.

Balancing of the Hormones
The main quality of the Uterus is its elasticity. Chakki ensures this elasticity and hence no tumors and caesarians will happen. Chakki can be used till 7^th month of pregnancy. The very quality of health of caesarian children is much poorer compared to children born naturally. Physical health, mental health and intelligence, imaginative ability are of a different level for children born naturally.

Women start facing many complications (depression, tension, sadness, pains, hot flashes) due to menopause around the age of 45. The best way to keep these under control is Chakki usage. Regular usage of Chakki and Sil-Batta are the best preventives for menopausal complications. HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) is a curse. It causes uncontrolled weight gain.

Weight Loss
Chakki is also the best option to reduce paunch. Gym does not help with this in the long run. This is also due to the fact that any fast exercises/movements will worsen Vaata hence paunch will only increase in the long run. India being a Vaata pradhaan land, we need slow movements in order to keep Vaata under control.

Mixer grinders also destroy most nutrients due to high speed and friction. The main reason for our health problems are the changes in our kitchens.

An experiement conducted in Bhilwar showed a reduction in acidity, pains, sleep, BP etc on incorporating chakki atta in their lives. There were no gas problems even on overeating.
