Hello I understand that you experienced discomfort after eating roasted ginger and garlic with ghee and honey. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊
✅ AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING
Heating honey above normal temperature makes it toxic (Agnitapta Madhu Vishakta).
Combining hot and pungent herbs (like garlic & ginger) with honey can cause Aama formation (metabolic toxins) and Pitta aggravation, leading to discomfort, burning sensation, nausea, or abdominal pain.
✅ IMMEDIATE CARE
If you’ve already consumed it and are feeling discomfort:
👉Step 1: Neutralize the Reaction
Drink 1 glass of warm water with a pinch of dry coriander powder (dhaniya) or jeera (cumin) — this helps pacify Pitta and aids digestion.
Alternatively, drink cool milk with a teaspoon of ghee if you feel burning or uneasiness in the chest or stomach.
👉Step 2: Rest the Digestive Fire
Avoid any heavy, spicy, or oily food for the next 12–24 hours Take light food like moong dal khichdi, rice gruel (peya), or boiled vegetables. Stay hydrated with warm water or cumin-coriander-fennel (CCF) water.
👉 Step 3: Support Digestion
Take Avipattikar Churna – 1 tsp with lukewarm water after meals for 2–3 days to balance aggravated Pitta.
If you have gas or bloating, Hingvashtak Churna 1/2 tsp before meals can help.
✅ FUTURE PRECAUTION
Do not mix honey with hot substances.
Safe ways to take them:
You may roast garlic and ginger in ghee and eat them separately (without honey).
Take honey alone later, with lukewarm water, but never immediately after heating or cooking.
Maintain at least 1-hour gap between consuming heated foods and honey.
✅ HOME REMEDIES FOR RELIEF
If you feel any burning or stomach irritation:
1. Drink tender coconut water – pacifies Pitta and detoxifies mild toxins. 2. Aloe vera juice (15–20 ml) with water – soothes stomach lining. 3. Licorice (Yashtimadhu) powder – ½ tsp with milk helps relieve burning.
Wishing you a good health😊
Warm regards, Dr. Snehal Vidhate

This is second day i did not feel any discomfort
Currently what are the symptoms you are facing?
Nothing
Then what is your concern about?
Any problem in my body in future happen or not that is my concern
If now you are not experiencing any problem Then no need to worry… But don’t repeat it
Honey should not be mixed with roasted hot garlic and ginger
I did not heated honey
As per your question you have mentioned you roasted garlic and ginger and quickly put in honey…
Yes its right you didnt heated honey … But honey should not mix with hot items
It becomes virudha ahara… Honey with any hot items is incompatible and so can cause discomfort in your abdomen
HELLO,
If you roasted ginger and garlic in ghee, added honey to it while still warm and caused severe discomfort, here’s what you should do and know:
Do not consume the mixture again — combining honey with very warm or hot ingredients can cause toxic compounds to form according to Ayurveda, especially when honey is heated above ~40°C. Drink plenty of water to dilute and help your body process the mixture. Avoid heavy or spicy foods for the next few hours.
Roast ginger and garlic in ghee until golden. Let it cool to lukewarm temperature, not hot. Then add honey and mix.
THANK YOU

Hello Roasting ginger and garlic in ghee is ok , most of the cooks do this and put in curries. Vegetables. But you eat it hot with honey. If you are fine and not facing any problem then, don’t worry You can take Avipattikar tablet 1-0-1 after food with water Drink adequate amount of water Avoid spicy fried sugary foods, street foods.
After roasting ginger and garlic with ghee and consuming them with honey, there’s a few considerations to keep in mind. In Ayurveda, this combination can strengthen the digestive fire, or Agni, due to the warming and stimulating properties of ginger and garlic. Ghee acts as an Ayurvedic medium that helps carry the active components to the tissues, while honey provides an additional layer of soothing sweetness and aids in detoxification.
If you are experiencing normal heat, it indicates moderate activation of Agni. However, be conscious of your Dosha. If you have a Pitta constitution or imbalance, this combination may increase heat, potentially leading to symptoms like heartburn or discomfort. In such cases, follow this with a glass of lukewarm water with a pinch of fennel or coriander to balance the heat.
On the other hand, if you are Vata or Kapha dominant, this preparation could be beneficial in enhancing your digestion and metabolism. Consider taking this mixture in the morning as part of your routine to ignite Agni, aiding in better digestion throughout the day. Limit consumption to once a day, as excessive heat might lead to imbalances.
Ensure the ginger and garlic aren’t charred, as burnt residues might create toxins which could disrupt the balance in the gut. If this happens, try combining with a dash of turmeric or add a few mint leaves to cool the system.
When incorporating this into your routine, be mindful of its effect on your body. If you notice any adverse reactions, consider consulting with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized adjustments. If you experience any signs of burning or excessive heat, discontinuing this practice and seeking professional guidance would be advisable.
After eating hot you may get some stomach upset but it will settle within few hours so do not worry Drink coriander cumin fennel carom boil all these in a cup of water for a while filter and then sip warm two to three times daily N take butter milk with rice at night hours to settle
Do NOT mix roasted ginger + garlic (hot) with honey (cooling) and eat quickly. This creates Pitta-toxic reaction (Ama + Viruddha Ahara) which can severe discomfort even if rarely done.
Safe Alternatives Ginger-Garlic-Ghee: Roast lightly and eat warm with meals (no honey). For Honey: Take alone or with lukewarm water
If feel Discomfort Now take Triphala water: 1 tsp in 200 ml warm water → sip slowly. Rest 30 min; avoid food 2 hrs.
