CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW

Recipes with Garlic (raw): Roasted Beet Puree with Lemon & Coriander

Raw garlic’s benefits are many.

A spicy root, garlic is known for clearing, which flushes everything out of your body. One student writes, "At first taste it was like a bee stinging my tongue.... my whole body got very warm."

Clears Your Respiratory System

Garlic's hot nature penetrates, breaking up any stagnation.

This is most useful in congested Kapha conditions, especially during the spring. Its heat flushes out your sinuses, and you may feel your nose get tingly when you eat it.

Garlic's anti-inflammatory compounds reduce swelling in the nose, sinuses, and Eustachian tubes, helping to clear all the channels of your head. It even flushes your eyes and tear ducts.

Notice the warmth and heat that spreads to your chest, a sign that garlic is heating up and clearing your lungs. One student writes, "I felt good and as if my whole lungs opened up." Your ears may even feel warm.

Supports Your Circulation & Immunity

Aromatic compounds, like garlic, make you sweat (garlic is a diaphoretic). When you eat garlic, you may notice your face becomes flushed. As it dilates blood vessels, it flushes your circulatory system and cleanses your lymphatic system as well.

The circulatory, stimulating effects of raw garlic also improve your immunity, as your immune system lives in your blood.

Garlic's heat and circulatory properties can help you "sweat out a fever," while its antifungal properties counteract candida infections. One student noted, "I ate raw garlic once when I had a fever and it [the fever] completely went away after I ate the garlic."

A Hot & Stimulating Aphrodisiac

The heating, circulatory stimulating effects of garlic have given it fame as an aphrodisiac.

Clears Your Bowels

Raw garlic clears your bowels because of its sharp pungency.

Strongly Aggravates Pitta

The hot, irritating nature of garlic can cause gurgling, gas, bloating and diarrhea. As the heat pushes your blood upwards, you may notice a slight pressure in the frontal lobe of your brain that could erupt into a headache or make you irritable.

When you eat raw garlic it’s possible your sweat and breath will smell like garlic..

One student writes, "I was burping the taste of garlic the whole day, my hot flashes flared up and it make me very uncomfortable"

If raw garlic is too strong for you, cook it, which mellows it out.

Cooked garlic is sweeter than its raw version. While raw garlic is very stimulating, cooked garlic has a strong sleepy (soporific) effect.

Garlic is considered unctuous and vitiates (corrupts) the blood.

Metabolic Nature of Garlic (raw)

See a complete list of all biocharacteristics.

INCREASES Increases These Biocharacteristics (Gunas) Functional Ayurveda helps you assess imbalances through 20 main biocharacteristics (gunas). Aggravating these characteristics weakens your body and causes imbalance. By knowing which characteristics are habitually imbalanced in your body, you will be able to identify and correct imbalances before you get sick. Every characteristic has an opposite which balances it (i.e. hot balances cold). You restore balance by favoring diet and lifestyle choices that increase the opposite characteristic. Learn More	CLEAR ABOUT CLEAR BIOCHARACTERISTIC Clear refers to anything that cleanses or flushes out wastes, or that digests ama. LEARN MORE ABOUT CLEAR HOT ABOUT HOT BIOCHARACTERISTIC Hot is identified by increased body temperature, metabolism, or inflammation. LEARN MORE ABOUT HOT LIQUEFIED ABOUT LIQUEFIED BIOCHARACTERISTIC Substances that thin fluids (lower viscosity of blood plasma). These may include blood thinners or mucolytic herbs. LEARN MORE ABOUT LIQUEFIED MOBILE ABOUT MOBILE BIOCHARACTERISTIC Mobile refers to anything that stimulates the nervous system, muscles, or activity. LEARN MORE ABOUT MOBILE
TASTES The 6 Tastes Taste is used to sense the most basic properties and effects of food. Each taste has a specific medicinal effect on your body. Cravings for food with certain tastes indicate your body is craving specific medicinal results from food. Taste is experienced on the tongue and represents your body's reaction to foods. Sweet taste causes physical satisfaction and attraction whereas bitter taste causes discomfort and aversion. Kapha should use less sweet taste while Vata and Pitta would benefit from using more sweet taste. One of the first signs of illness is that your taste and appetite for food changes. The six tastes are sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent. Do you crave foods with any of the tastes below? Learn More	PUNGENT ABOUT PUNGENT BIOCHARACTERISTIC Pungency is characterized by irritation, or sharp, spicy foods that irritate the mouth such as black pepper. LEARN MORE ABOUT PUNGENT
DOSHAS The Three Doshas / Body Types According to the biocharacteristic theory of medicine, people tend to get sick, over and over again, due to habitual causes and imbalances that are unique to the person. Your body type summarizes this tendency, showing you the 'type' of conditions and imbalances that frequently challenge your health & wellness. Using body type, you can also identify remedies likely to improve your strength and resiliency. Your body type identifies physical and mental characteristics as well as your personal strengths and weaknesses. The calculation of your body type is based on your medical history. The 3 functional body types (doshas), are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha). Catabolic individuals tend to break down body mass into energy. They are easily stimulated, hyperactive, underweight and dry. Metabolic individuals tend to burn or use energy. They tend to be rosy-cheeked, easily irritated, focused, driven, and easily inflamed. Anabolic individuals tend to store energy as body mass. If they store too much energy, they could gain weight easily and have congestion. Anabolic people tend to be stable and grounded.
