Master Personalized Wellness with these Diet, Lifestyle & Herbs Certification Courses
The essence of all lust (as opposed to love) is exploitation of a person - using them as a means, not an end. In lust, a person seeks pleasure from a part of the person, rather than the whole. Exploitation of individuals takes various forms:
Desiring a person for their wealth, protection they offer, or some skill they have
Desiring a person for their beauty, or their body
Desiring a person for some service they offer or help they give
The passion of love (amor) seeks personal gain from individuals and the environment. The virtue of love (charity / true love) finds happiness in giving.
Preoccupation with sex can also take place in the context of an otherwise loving relationship, but with physical pleasure seeking that is out of proportion, or insubordinate, which can distract the person from pursuits that would bring greater or more stable joy.
Porn is a special case of lust. In porn, the instincts mistake a photo for a real sexual encounter, as neither the body nor the heart of the source of arousal are present. Porn spends sexual energy on an idea, a mirage.
If you don't have a spouse, use your sexual energy for hard physical labor, which will give you a sense of accomplishment. Avoid red meat, almonds, and other stimulating blood building foods, and favor bitters, to cool sexual passion..
Food is medicine, and well-designed recipes function as gentle herbal formulas.

PREOCCUPIED WITH SEX / LUST IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE #2 - AFFECTING BLOOD & EMOTIONS
Affecting Blood: Initially, imbalances are localized, often in the digestive tract.
As an imbalance grows, it starts to affect your body systemically, via the blood.
If you have symptoms in this category it means that your imbalances are starting to spread,
have entered the bloodstream, and are now systemic.
Pay particular attention to the biocharacteristics, tastes, and doshas out of balance systemically,
so you know how to strengthen your body as a whole, and reduce physical stress on your organs.
At this stage of imbalance you will begin to experience generalized discomfort, imbalanced emotions,
and may develop sensitivities to temperature.
It may take several weeks of strict adherence to a specific remedial diet to clear blood level imbalances.
Blood cleansing herbs may reduce symptoms.
A several day cleanse may shorten the recovery time.

HOW DOES AYURVEDA WORK?
Ayurveda starts by identifying your body type,
which identifies certain tendencies in your body to get sick (as well as identifying your strengths).
It uses body type to determine the likely root causes of your disorders.
Next, Ayurveda analyzes the nature of your disorder.
It fits all your signs and symptoms into a pattern, expressed as a combination of biocharacteristics (gunas).
For example, you may have a heat disorder, a cold disorder, or an oily disorder, etc.
This simple categorical approach shows you how to correct systemic imbalances and strengthen your body as a whole.
On Joyful Belly, we've created an extensive categorization of food so you can easily match food to your imbalanced biocharacteristics.
By eating an optimal diet that balances your biocharacteristics, your whole body is strengthened
and the conditions that created the disorder are removed. Once the root causes of the disease
are removed, the disease lessens in strength or disappears altogether. Additional remedies -
such as herbs and lifestyle practices - focused on the specific disorder, can greatly enhance
your healing.
