So that was my point. Read between the lines. Get lots of research. Then decide for yourself. Or use your gut, intuition, superconscious mind.
There is one thing I do know about garlic, and that is that it gets metabolised very quickly. It's from an experiment I used to do in school. If you rub a lot of garlic on someone's feet, they will have garlic breath within the hour.
Aum Namasivaya
Namaste EM,
I agree. Actually in Homeopathy, Garlic and Onion are used as medicine. Allium Cepa is a very potent medicine for sneezing and itching type of cold. It is not correct to conclude that Homeopathy does abhor or ban Garlic etc. In fact, Aurveda also does not do so. In Aurveda, Lahsun Vati is a medicine for flatulence and joint pains.
Homeopathy recommends abstinence from Garlic and Onion, while on a treatment, because of the same reason as you have mentioned -- quick metabolism and also over-powering of all other subtle fragrance.
Om Namah Shivaya
That which is without letters (parts) is the Fourth, beyond apprehension through ordinary means, the cessation of the phenomenal world, the auspicious and the non-dual. Thus Om is certainly the Self. He who knows thus enters the Self by the Self.
