Hi Surya

1. Yes, no any form of sugar. Jaggery is also a form of unrefined sugar. In the workshop we have been taught only to use honey.
2. We have to take labels at face value. That is why it is advisable to buy reputable brands. Do not use wild honey as the bees are smoked out of their nests and in the process many die from this exercise
3. Leave the fruits in till it is ready to consume. The longer you ferment it, the better. Mine is more than 1 and a half years.
4. That I am not sure about the unripe fruits!!!
Have fun

Hi, thanks for confirming my suspicion that the enzyme is alcoholic at initial stage of fermentation. A few questions:
1. U mention not to use sugar… so this would include brown sugar obviously? and how about jaggery?
2. How does one confirm that organic honey is pure and has no added sugar other than just reading the label? I have been advised not to fully trust labels.
3. In the process of curing the enzyme for 6 months, should the fruit pieces be removed from the liquid or just leave the lot in the bottle?
4. Is it ok to use unripe fruits? We have a mango tree and the fruits are always dropping off the tree before ripening. So I was thinking to use them for enzyme making.

Hello Nellie,
Sorry for the late response as I had a month long event in January. As to why you can consume the enzyme only after six months is for the enzyme to mature. For the first month of preparing the enzyme, during fermentation alcohol is released so it is strictly not advisable to consume them during the first 4 to 6 weeks. If you consume such concoction over long term it may have harmful effects to your liver. In the second month of fermentation, it is vinegar based. Therefore it is best consumed after 6 months. I know there are lots of “Do it yourself” books that teaches you to make enzymes in a matter of a week or two. Once you drink it, you will know that it is alcohol based as you will feel warmish

Hi Josh
Water before sleep and upon waking up is my regime and I agree with you on the kidney aspect. Cheers to water!

The last part t help prevent stroke or heart attack b4 sleep is certainly helpful. A folk belief has it that taking that glass b4 sleep will drown the kidneys which I do not believe unless one drinks so much as to overwork the kidneys.

In any case, that is worlds better than stroking and not waking!

This is a good one. I click thru to your other one on dandruff shampoo and learnt that salicylic acid in aspirin is used in dandruff treatment. Thanks!
