Guest guest Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 There is a much simpler reason garlic & onion are discouraged- both are highly Rajoguni foods. Garlic esp, is considered a super hot(hot here means it increases our inner fire). As such it can imbalance our internal system. Especially people who are Ayurvedic Pitta type should *never* eat garlic. In fact, garlic is used as a medicine in Ayurveda for people whose internal fire is weak, or whose Pitta Dosha is suppressed. This is more true in India, people who live in cold climates should be able to eat it now & then. As for onions, Indians cant live without those! Onions also increase Pitta. Onions & garlic are still better than Meat & alcohl, which are Tamsic foods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
