“The three poisons. Behind the three faults of the body the tradition sees the three poisons of the mind: desire (döchak), aversion (zhedang) and delusion (timuk). Delusion, attachment and aversion are called the root afflictions behind wind, bile and phlegm. A Bhutanese teaching journal gives the pairing in one line: phlegm disorder comes mainly from ignorance, bile disorder from aversion, and wind disorder from desire.”

“The warning, in full. Never on babies. In Kermanshah a six-week-old boy with G6PD deficiency developed a severe breakdown of his red blood cells after henna was put on for nappy rash. A case report in the WHO's regional journal advises against henna on infants in general and on people with G6PD deficiency at any age. In some Iranian newborn screening studies about 2 to 3.5 percent of babies have G6PD deficiency, more among babies with jaundice.”
