Side effects of applying garlic to the soles of feet

Garlic is a condiment used in daily life. It can make dishes taste more delicious. However, garlic can also be used as a Chinese medicinal material. At this time, you can apply garlic to the soles of your feet to give your body a good health-preserving effect without causing any side effects. It can also treat many diseases in the body.

1. Patients with eye diseases

The ancients said: "Garlic can cure a hundred diseases except harming the eyes." Eating garlic for a long time and in large quantities is harmful to the eyes. Ji Kang said in "On Health Preservation" that "spicy meat and spicy food are harmful to the eyes." Garlic is the spiciest, and it goes to the clear orifices and opens to the eyes, so it can easily cause damage to the eyes. Therefore, be careful not to eat too much garlic, especially people with eye diseases must avoid spicy food during treatment.

2. Weakness and fever

The ancients believed that eating too much garlic would deplete a person's Qi and blood. "Bencao Congxin" records that "Garlic is pungent, hot and toxic, can produce phlegm and stir up fire, dissipate Qi and consume blood, so people with weakness and heat should not touch garlic with their lips." Therefore, people with poor health and weak qi and blood should pay attention.

3. Patients with liver disease

Many people use eating garlic to prevent hepatitis, and some people even continue to eat garlic every day after suffering from hepatitis. This is all wrong. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that "long-term consumption of garlic can damage the liver and eyes." Garlic is hot in nature and can help fire; it tastes spicy and has a strong irritating effect. If people with liver heat eat it, the liver fire will become more intense, which will of course cause damage over time.

4. Patients with spleen deficiency and diarrhea

Raw garlic is very irritating. Eating a small amount on a normal basis can promote digestion. However, if you eat garlic when you have non-bacterial enteritis or diarrhea, the strong stimulation will cause congestion and edema of the intestinal mucosa, promote exudation, and worsen the condition.

5. People with serious illness should be careful when eating

Garlic is an allergen. The so-called allergen refers to food that is particularly likely to induce certain diseases or aggravate existing diseases. Eating spicy foods such as garlic and peppers may cause obvious side effects for people who are seriously ill or taking medication. Not only may it trigger old illnesses, it may also make the medication ineffective or produce a chain reaction with the medication, affecting physical health. [1]

6. Immediately need to participate in public activities or contact other people

The garlic taste is strong and lasts a long time in the mouth. Therefore, if you need to attend a public activity or come into contact with other people soon, try not to eat to show respect to other people. In addition, try not to eat when you are not participating in any religious activities.
