Share this with someone who loves onion-garlic in their food.

Most of us know onions and garlic add flavour to food.

But did you know these two ingredients were once prescribed as medicines, not meal staples?

In Ayurveda, garlic is rajasic, meaning it stimulates excess activity in the nervous system.

Onions, on the other hand, are considered tamasic, associated with heaviness, dullness and inner restlessness.

But the idea isn’t to label foods right or wrong.

It’s to understand their energy and use them wisely.

We recently discussed this and other powerful habits in Sister Shivani’s podcast, “7 Life-Changing Habits.”
