NATURAL USES FOR GARLIC

Garlic can be used for many things including colds and flu. My husband never gets a cold or flu as if he even thinks he is getting a cold he makes himself a salad sandwich and slices a couple of cloves of garlic on it. He often eats raw garlic sliced up on his meal and I believe that is why he is so healthy and I put up with the smell of garlic as it is better to do that than have a sick husband.

GARLIC PREVENTS INFECTIONS

Garlic is a natural antibiotic that can fight off a great number of bacteria and fungi. What garlic does is it stimulates the white blood cells and battles the infection. Garlic is a magnificent thing to keep in your home at all times. When garlic cloves are crushed, chewed or cut it releases a compound called allicin and this is what gives garlic its pungent taste and smell. It is the allicin that is the wonderful ingredient that is responsible for garlics theraputic qualities.

Garlic for many Natural Uses

Garlic is also used as an antioxidant, blood cleanser, lowers cholestrol, lowers blood pressure, prevents and treats diabettes, acne treatment and also as a mosquito repellent. You can see that garlic is a great thing to have in your cupboard and to eat fresh or in your cooking. I also use it soaked in warm water with lemon and then drink it like a cup of tea it really helps you ward off colds and flu. You can use garlic raw or in tablet form and you can buy odourless garlic for girls and women who do not want to smell like garlic. Some people have to be careful as they can be alergic to garlic so just start with a small amount then gradually use more of it.
