 Onions and Garlic ..NO GO 

All food is divided into 3 groups. The first group of food that fuels your body with life energy (prana) is called Sattvic or Positive Pranic. The second group is Neutral Pranic food foods, which consists of food that neither gives nor takes your life energies, but rather spells you into a lethargic state. The third group is Negative Pranic food or Rajasic (stimulant) and Tamasic (sedative) foods, that takes away your life energies and makes you feel sleepy or tired

( onions and garlic fall into second and third group ) 

Ayurveda specialists suggest that consumption of onion and garlic results in some negative feelings and emotions like anger, aggression, ignorance, over stimulation of the senses, lethargy, anxiety, and increase in sexual desire. Hence, those who practice meditation or choose to follow the spiritual path, live in complete avoidance of consumption of onion and garlic.

It is also said that Rajasic foods such as onion and garlic have an adverse effect on one's consciousness, where they can distract individual's focus, affect a person's presence of mind and also result in an unstable intellect.

Ayurveda states onion as tamasic in nature (makes people irritable) and garlic to be rajsic (disturbed sleep and drained energy) in nature. As per Ayurveda, both these ingredients produce excessive heat in the body.

Here below are enough reasons that one must not use onions and garlic

Garlic and onion are strong tissue irritant.

You know as well as I do, if you just take garlic and place it on the skin, what’s going to happen?  The longer you keep it there, the more irritated the skin will become.  In the end, it’s going to blister and rash, but hopefully, you don’t get there.

If garlic and onion affect your skin like that, you can only imagine what it does to the delicate tissue of the stomach and intestines.

For those people with IBS, other digestive issues, as well as certain sensitive skin conditions, know this first hand. If they pay attention to their body after they have onion and garlic, their condition gets worse

Emotional effects of garlic and onion.

Ayurveda classifies onion and garlic (and the rest of the allium family) as nervous stimulants. They lower your energy levels and decrease focus and concentration abilities.  

Onion and garlic are considered in ayurvedic terms to be Tamasic and Rajasic by nature, meaning they are pungent foods that increase heat, and bile in the body. Those practicing meditation or who are committed to following a conscious, spiritual path tend to avoid consumption of onion and garlic as it is believed these foods can enhance anger, aggression, ignorance, overstimulation of the senses, lethargy, anxiety, and an increase in sexual desire. Rajasic foods are believed to distract our focus, over stimulate the mind, and cause an imbalance in intellect. 

It is also believed that garlic causes burns of the mucous membranes of the esophagus and the stomach, generating a severe spasm that, in turn, leads to weakness and malfunction of the digestive organs. You may not feel the spasms, but this does not mean it is not happening. It is believed that eating garlic consistently over time can cause a loss of sensitivity to the nerve endings in the esophagus. Try this method of elimination: cut garlic from your life for six months, and then consume one clove. You will likely feel the symptoms of pancreatitis: belching, and pain in the upper quadrant, where the pancreas is. However, it is not pancreatitis, but the response of your autonomic nervous system to the burning effect of garlic
