Our folklore tries to explain many things in it very unique way.....
This time while I was going to one of my school one old farmer asked for lift .... I reluctantly halted my bike and he quickly climbed up on bike.. While going he started to discus tit bits and conversation diverted to topic of Garlic he advised me to ate garlic for batter health....
When I complained about bad smell he told me following story...
Once upon a time 4 saints/sadhus was on char dham yatra. When they were reached to kalish parvat one of them fell ill seriously and got TB... Other 3 walked away and left him to die... While he felt hunger he started eating shrubs and grass around.. He ate garlic prevalent their and felt better then he ate more and got healthy in few days... After few years while a visit to Haridwar he come across his fellows.... They amazed how he got healthy. He denied to revel the secret... Then sadhus cursed that bad smell will develop in the Herb which cured him and garlic developed bad smell.... So that they can identify/recognise the herb and help others....
