Tips » Digestion » Milk and Ayurveda

Ayurveda tells us that milk should not be mixed or consumed with foods that are salty, bitter, astringent, pungent or sour. Doing so can result in the curdling of your meal, creating Ama (impurities which cause later health problems) and in some cases nausea.

This means that meals cooked with milk and fish or meat should be avoided, as these are incompatible with milk, and cause a build-up of Ama.
