Garlic is a healthy spice but that doesn't mean all of it is edible.

People with eye diseases

The ancients said, “Garlic can cure hundreds of diseases except for eye damage.” Long-term consumption of garlic is harmful to the eyes. Garlic has the most pungent taste, and can penetrate into every corner, making it easy to cause damage to the eyes. Therefore, people with eye diseases should be careful not to eat too much garlic when eating garlic. During the treatment process, they must avoid spicy foods.


People with weak constitution and heat

The ancients believed that eating too much garlic would consume human energy, and at the same time consume blood. “Ben Cao Tung Tan” recorded that “garlic is pungent, hot, toxic, produces phlegm and heat, disperses energy and consumes blood, people with weak constitution and heat should not let it touch their lips”. Therefore, people with poor constitution and weak blood and energy should pay attention.

People with liver disease

Many people use the method of eating garlic to prevent hepatitis, and some people still eat garlic every day after getting liver disease. This is not true. The "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that garlic "eats too much and damages the liver and eyes". Garlic is hot and can help heat up. Garlic has a pungent taste and is a strong stimulant. If people with heat in the liver eat garlic, the heat in the liver will become even hotter. Over time, it will naturally cause damage.

People with weak spleen and diarrhea

The stimulation of raw garlic is very strong, eating it daily can promote digestion, but if a person with bacterial enteritis continues to eat garlic when having diarrhea, the strong stimulation will cause intestinal mucosal congestion. The edema will become more severe, promoting leakage and making the condition more malignant.

Seriously ill people should be careful when eating.

Garlic belongs to the plant-derived substances, the so-called plant-derived substances are especially easy to lead to a certain disease or aggravate previously broken out diseases. Eating pungent foods such as garlic, hot peppers, for people with serious illnesses or people who are taking medication, has the possibility of very obvious side effects, not only can cause the old illness to relapse, but also make the medication ineffective, or the medication produces continuous reactions, affecting the health of the body.
