1. Is it safe to eat during lunar eclipse? What is food here and what is not

It is said that the second lunar eclipse of this year will take place on July 05 and it will be a special one, where along with a lunar eclipse coming from some parts of the world, a special 'full deer moon' will also be seen.


Although the sighting of a lunar eclipse causes a celestial event, culturally, the eclipse is considered a bad omen and there are rituals that prevent people from going out or eating during the lunar eclipse.

2. Raw food should be avoided

In traditional communities, the use of raw foods, some fruits and vegetables is not recommended. It is thought that the moon's rays can ruin its properties and make it unfit for human consumption. The same goes for alcohol, vegetarian products or anything that takes a long time to digest.

3. No Pre-cooked Food in the Kitchen

Just as some people practice ghusl after a lunar eclipse, home-cooked food is not available during the lunar eclipse. Traditional beliefs dictate that strong emissions from the moon can contaminate or spoil food. Therefore, as a precaution, many families do not cook or prepare food before the day of the lunar eclipse and instead, choose something light and fresh after the end of the lunar eclipse. Again, there is no scientific claim behind it.

4. Basil must be Included in the Prepared Food

Some people prefer to cut down on radiation while preparing food while adding some basil seeds (sacred basil) which can affect the taste or quality of food. Although there is no conclusive evidence behind this practice, adding basil seeds to your diet, or simply increasing its intake, can help fight some infections and keep the body healthy. is good.

5. Add Turmeric to your Diet

Adding a pinch of turmeric to silver during silver is a prerequisite in Indian cooking and must be followed on the day of eclipse. Turmeric has anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties that benefit the body and keep it safe. So, there is no real harm in trying it.

6. What do you do?

Although it is important to exercise your jurisdiction and consider your health before following any tradition, remember that your diet should be as natural and healthy as possible. From an Ayurvedic point of view, you should eat light and digestible food at least two hours before the lunar eclipse. Drinking good detoxifying tea and soothing supplements can also help with your immunity.


Another thing you can do is add ginger or lemon slices to plain water, which can be helpful.

It is always recommended to consult a doctor before practicing any of the following steps.
