Incompatible foods in Ayurveda

In Ayurveda consuming incompatible foods (“viruddha”)[1] is considered to be a cause of many diseases.[2] In the Charaka Samhita a list is given.[2] P.V. Sharma states that such incompatibilities may not have influence on a person who is strong, exercises sufficiently and has a good digestive system.[1]

Examples of combinations that are considered incompatible include:

* Salt or anything containing salt with milk (produces skin diseases).[3]
* Fruit with milk products[3]
* Fish with milk products (produces toxins).[1][2]
* Meat with milk products.[2]
* Sour food[2] or sour fruit[1] with milk products.
* Leafy vegetables with milk products.[2]
* Milk pudding or sweet pudding with rice.[2]
* Mustard oil and curcuma.[2]
