Milk And Salt Together - #4071

I’ve been experimenting with my diet lately, trying to follow some traditional food combinations that I’ve heard about from family and friends. One thing I’ve recently tried is mixing milk and salt together in my meals. I’ve read that in some cultures, milk and salt together can be used in savory dishes, but I’m a bit concerned. Is it safe to consume milk and salt together, or is it something that I should avoid? A little background – I’ve been dealing with digestive issues for a while now. I often experience bloating, gas, and occasional indigestion, especially after eating heavy meals. A friend of mine mentioned that certain food combinations might be causing my digestive troubles, and I decided to look into it. That’s when I came across the idea that milk and salt together could be hard on the stomach. I’ve seen some people add a pinch of salt to their milk for taste, and some even drink milk with a bit of salt before meals, saying it helps with digestion. But then I also read that in Ayurveda, mixing milk and salt together might not be recommended, as it could disrupt digestion and create an imbalance. I’ve also heard that milk and salt together might be difficult for the body to process, especially if you have a sensitive stomach. Is that true? If so, what exactly happens when you consume milk and salt together? Could it cause bloating, indigestion, or other digestive problems? I’ve noticed that after consuming milk with salt, I sometimes feel more uncomfortable in my stomach, but I wasn’t sure if it was just a coincidence or if the combination itself could be the cause. Some people argue that milk and salt together are fine as long as it’s consumed in moderation, while others warn that it can upset the balance of the stomach acids. I’d love to know what Ayurveda says about this. Is there a scientific or Ayurvedic reason why milk and salt together might not be the best choice? If it’s not good, why do some cultures still mix them, and does it work for them in certain cases? On the other hand, I do enjoy the taste of milk with salt in savory preparations, like certain soups or gravies. Should I completely avoid this combination, or is it something that can be eaten in moderation if balanced properly with other ingredients? If I should avoid it, are there any alternatives to milk and salt together that would be easier on the stomach? Lastly, I’m curious if this combination has a different effect depending on the person’s body type or dosha. For instance, if I have a Pitta dosha, could milk and salt together be more problematic for me than someone with a different dosha? I’ve been trying to improve my digestion and want to make sure I’m following food rules that benefit my body. Could you clarify whether or not milk and salt together are harmful, and if there are any precautions I should take when using these ingredients in my meals?
