Garlic is just a simple food ingredient, but what’s under your nose is one of the most powerful herbal medicines that you can use. The facts are in and you can never go wrong when you use garlic in your food.
The most active ingredient found in garlic is thiosulfinate allicin. Along with other ingredients, it can prevent common diseases that afflict most of us today. Infections can also be prevented with the regular use of garlic. Whether it would be viral, fungal or bacterial, garlic is able to prevent any of these infections. Use them regularly in your food and you will see the difference. People who have used garlic as part of their daily diet are healthy in terms of healing the wounds inside and outside of their body.
There are other health conditions that could be enhanced by garlic. Constant use of garlic has also been proven to lower blood pressure. If taken raw, its effect is even stronger. The best thing about garlic with blood pressure patients is that it can cure and not just prevent this type of condition. Most of the patients who are suffering from high blood pressure can take at least a seed after meals, and that can make their blood pressure go lower. It’s so effective that it is even advised against those who are suffering from very lower blood pressure.
Here’s a fun fact about garlic: research has proven that when you take garlic for more than 20 weeks, it will actually make you almost invincible against tick bites. If you are planning to go to an exotic area in the near future, better start with your garlic. The recommended dosage is 1.2 grams a day for 20 weeks.
But don’t just get any garlic: there are many types of garlic on the market. The most recommended type of garlic is those that have the freshest and strongest odor. If you really wanted to have the therapeutic effect of garlic in your body, you should consider eating it raw. At first, it may taste really bad but just like any other discipline, it just needs practice for this to work out. Before you know it, garlic will become an integral part of your life.
Of course the bad side of garlic is its smell. Be prepared to have the “garlic breath,” especially after the intake. On the other hand, the odor will just go away if you brush your teeth regularly. Another bad thing about garlic is when eating it raw. There are concerns about cancerous effect based on the amount of intake. Don’t just gobble all the garlic that you can have in your lifetime. Limit yourself to 29 grams of garlic every week.
Garlic is really a wonder herb, and it’s located right under our noses. Just grab a bottle at the market and make yourself healthier slowly but surely.

Yes, GARLIC is so powerful! When most of my friends get cold and flu, but I don’t, since I always take Garlic supplements every day (3 tablets/day). Garlic can also be consumed as cooking spices/flavor. But I prefer to eat Garlic in supplement form since it is more practical and measurable.
