It is easy to understand why people avoid meat, but giving up onions and garlic is shocking news, especially among health-conscious people. Yes, onions and garlic have numerous medicinal benefits. Unfortunately, onions and garlic have negative consequences as well, and you should be aware of them as a health-conscious cook.
Garlic is a strong herb that traditional doctors use as medication but do not recommend as a daily eating. Garlic (particularly raw) destroys not only nasty germs but also beneficial bacteria because it is a broad-spectrum antibiotic. Garlic makes no distinction between “bad guys” and “good guys” in your gut.
Because boiling eliminates much of the sulfur, cooked onions and garlic have less of an effect (both therapeutic and detrimental). However, enough of it remains to harm the beneficial bacteria in your gut, especially if you are among the majority of people who do not provide a favorable environment for the bacteria to thrive.
Onions and garlic, like any sulfur-rich substance, are extremely hot. They irritate Pitta both physically and emotionally. Eating these two items will make someone who suffers from acid reflux, ulcers, colitis, heartburn, intestinal inflammation, skin rashes or redness, etc. feel worse.
Onions and garlic block the vibrational channels (nadis), preventing a person from attaining mental clarity and higher states of consciousness. Those who consume garlic and onion will have a very strong body, but their spiritual antennas will be blocked.
It is depends on your friendly bacteria, how much sulfur your intestines can absorb, and how much cooked or raw garlic you eat with what types of spices and veggies. I prefer to take the best approach: utilize them as medicine and avoid them on a regular basis. If you are hot or enjoy yoga, chanting, or meditation; if you seek mental clarity or balanced emotions, a diet free of onions and garlic may considerably benefit your spiritual practice. If you’ve been eating them your entire life, why not try going a month without them and see how you feel?
