Onion and Garlic's Connection

Onion and Garlic’s Connection with Rahu and Ketu in Sanatan Dharam – It’s significance in Ayurved

Rahu & Ketu are Chhaya greh in Vedic Astrology. Rahu and Ketu are known as the north and the south lunar nodes. As per Puranic Hindu textual content through the Samundra Manthan when Gods and Asuras have been churning the cosmic ocean for amrita ( nectar of immorality),Lord Vishnu took the type of Mohini ( feminine) and bought a pot of nectar from asuras and gave it again to devas to retain their immortality. Whereas Mohini was serving the nectar to devas, demon Svarbhānu ( Rahu & Ketu) set with different gods by altering his kind and drank the nectar. When Lord Vishnu realized he instantly took out his Sudarshan chakra and minimize Svarbhānu’s head. Drops of Svarbhanu’s blood fell on the bottom from which Onion and garlic originated. In Ayurveda Onion & garlic are thought-about Tamasic & Rajasic in nature which suggests they’re pungent in nature and end in growing bile and warmth within the physique.

An extra quantity of onion and garlic causes pitta dosh ( extra warmth parts ) within the physique and leads to indigestion and different stomach-related well-being points. Though they’re nice blood air purifier and has quite a few therapeutic and medicinal well-being advantages.

In Hinduism, Buddhism & Jainism, individuals who follow meditation and are on a religious path keep away from the consumption of garlic & onion. Throughout fasting, puja, and rituals we do not provide garlic & onion-made meals to Hindu deities as a result of their reference to Rahu & Ketu.

As per Hindu perception and Ayurveda consumption of Garlic & Onion heightened aggression, anger, and anxiousness, improves sexual need, makes individuals irritated, disturbed intervals of sleep, and drains vitality as a result of not having any sattvic parts in them. I’ve seen Rahu – Ketu nakshatra natives do consumption onion and garlic so much in their meals. It’s even helpful to them in addition to onion and garlic having therapeutic and medicinal features to them.
