Oh, yes, they've always been a food item. Historically, without any doubt. Why they may have the salutatory properties they have has only recently been elucidated. One can imagine any number of stories about why these beans are good. Their "vibrations". Some spiritual thing?

And, rest assured, there were always appropriate uses, and appropriate amounts. People aren't stupid, except in this modern world, where somehow people equate natural with safe. What the heck is up with that? 99% of all plants are seriously poisonous, or simply inedible to such an extent that you can't get a poisonous dose.

Ayurvedic medicine is a systematic medicine. You have to understand the substance in the context of its human uses. You shouldn't just run out and eat some.

I apologize to anyone who thought I was being flip. I generally assume people will do their own research. Or ask questions.
