Abstract

Food is a powerful source of energy for all human activities. It undergoes deterioration due to the contradictory qualities, unsuitable combination and opposed processing procedures thereby results in incompatibility. Honey and ghee are the two food substances used widely in Indian diet. The honey and ghee are mixed and served for food at times that absolutely contradicts the Ayurvedic concept. According to Ayurveda the incompatible foods i.e. Viruddha ahara are those which cause derangement in equilibrium of the doshas and remain antagonistic to the tissues.

Keywords: Virudha Aahara, Incompatible diet, Honey & Ghee.
