Medicinal properties of garlic

Garlic has been used for thousands of years as both food and medicine. Many people around the world, especially those known for their excellent health and longevity, made and still make extensive use of garlic in their daily diet.

One of the conditions in which garlic consumption brings about the fastest and most obvious improvement is hypertension or high blood pressure. Garlic according to Dr. Piotrowski, has a dilating effect on blood vessels and consequently facilitates blood circulation.

Garlic and onion also have a prophylactic effect on the development of arteriosclerosis and subsequent high blood pressure and heart disease. It effectively treats cholesterol and triglycerides, which cause heart diseases and heart attacks.

Studies and experiments done on humans and animals have shown that garlic is one of the few natural and harmless substances that are effective in the treatment of diabetes, that is, the presence of a high percentage of sugar in the blood. It is an excellent detoxifier, improves general metabolism and has a stimulating effect on the liver, nervous system and blood circulation.

Numerous studies prove that garlic juice strengthens the body’s resistance against bacteria and fungi. It is also a very efficient blood purifier.

Dr Stoll documented the antibiotic and antibacterial effects of garlic and attributed this power to alliin, a sulphide amino acid contained in this gifted plant.

It is recalled that in order to keep garlic intact its therapeutic value must be consumed raw. By cooking it loses some of its strength.
