Students described the eggs as "grounding." The richness of the egg provoked Kapha in several students, who said they had "mucus congestion" after eating the yolks. The high fat content of egg yolks absorbs water. The hard yolks "made my mouth feel dry," reports one student. "I was more constipated, my stools were like pellets" reports another. Students noted stools were darker as well. Egg yolks are difficult to digest. "Burping, I could taste the egg," says one student two hours after eating the egg. Other students noted more gas. Egg yolks have sulphur, which can make gas smellier. The warm nature of egg yolks make them a good blood and muscle tonic. One student notes, "I felt warmth rushing over my face, chest and arms." "My extremities were no longer cold," reports another. Students noticed frothiness in the urine after eating eggs. ContraindicationsWe suggest caution with egg yolks if you have heart issues. The "density of the eggs immediately hits my chest," reports one student. I had a "rapid heart rate" after consuming the egg yolks. This could be the result of 1) an allergic reaction to the egg, 2) the high fat content thickening the blood, or 3) food stagnation in the gut.Balancing the Effects
