Rahu Ketu and Garlic Onion. It is said as per a folklore that when Rahu Ketu consumed Amrit, and Sudarshan cut it's throat, in the stress, few drops of Saliva from Rahu(white) and Few drops of blood(Red) from Ketu fell on earth. These drops became roots of Garlic and Onion.1/n
As these drops had properties of Amrit, they are good for health, but as they came from Asuras, they smell. Good point to note is, Onion is red(blood) and Garlic is white(saliva). Another fact is, Garlic helps to curb Rahu's problem like BP, cholestrol and mental issues.2/n
Onion on the other hand helps in Ketu's problem like skin infection (high sulphur), Fever, Fungal infection. That is why probably in almost 70-80% of total population of India, these two items find an important space. They form an essential part of Tadka.3/n
While all these drops were falling, few drops of actual amrit fell as well and it became Giloy, the very natural immunity herb. It helps in Immunity, Fever, Cold, cough, Spleen etc. various organisations are referring its Kadha to fight Covid. n/n
Not many know that Giloy is also called amrita, and it has been widely referred to in ancient scriptures. It is known from as old as Ramayan and Vedas.
A good point I missed in above tweets is, Saliva sigfies Rahu, and blood signifies Ketu. One who salivates more, spits more, has highly active Rahu. Ex:- Mr. Javed Akhtar. Even tobacco(Rahu) chewers salivate too much. Ketu often causes blood loss by injuries, Abscess, boils.1/2
Piles, Cuts etc. People with active Ketu usually face any such problems. Flowing blood is usually Mars and dripping blood is Ketu. Sometimes planetary clues are so obvious in behaviour.2/2
Interestingly, Ketu is one of the primary planet for Sexual desires. Rahu gives wierd sexual desires, most rapists and perpetrators have malefic Rahu placement, with no support from jupiter. https://twitter.com/edwardW2/status/1328917595177635841?s=19
This is also in line with traditional orthodox Hinduism and Jainism beliefs. No doubt when Buddhism originated in India, it carried traditional attributes being followed in India at that time. Many of the Jainism and Orthodox Hindus abstain them even today https://twitter.com/edwardW2/status/1328917027923267589?s=19
