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]
