    I will prevent vampires from attacking you while you are meditating. Otherwise they might sneak up and bite you.

    Eating garlic as well as onions (an other foods too) has a tendency to leave a person with a bad smelling breath and I would guess that eons ago when people were much more superstitious they could have believed or thought that "bad breath" was being created by bad demons in their bodies as a result of it.

    Folk Lore still exists in parts of Europe where people believe they can keep vampires and "were wolves" away from their homes by throwing garlic cloves around it.

    By the same token - My Polish grand parents always said that eating lots of onions and garlic was good for the heart and the lungs. -

    Garlic helps open up the base chakras... fiery... it is also good for digestion and in turn awakens mental clarity.

    Well, as a Buddhist I've never heard of this but it might exist somewhere.......Didn't know that about the chakras but it makes sense.
