Garlic – Once called the “stinking rose” and shunned by the higher classes as food suitable only for peasants – garlic since has triumphed, taking its place as one of the most indispensable flavors in many kitchens.
Traditional medicine has used garlic for more than 3,000 years. Current research is trying to determine the role it could play in treating many health problems such as heart disease and stroke to possibly helping to prevent cancer and increasing your immune system. Garlic is amazing for your body, it offers so many benefits that you probably never thought of.
The Health Benefits of Garlic Include:
High Cholesterol Levels: Garlic is rich in the allicin compound. All those who have high cholesterol levels should include this herb in their daily diet.
Eye Care: Garlic is rich in nutrients like Selenium, Quercetin and Vitamin C, all of which help treat eye infections and swelling.
Ear Aches: Garlic is commonly used for ear aches. Its oil can be made at home by squeezing the juice of its cloves and adding it to olive oil. The mixture should be kept at room temperature for a few days, but shouldn’t be saved indefinitely, if made at home.
Intestinal Problems: Garlic clears up most intestinal problems like, diarrhea and colitis. Its role in dispelling worms is phenomenal. It does not affect the functioning of useful organisms in the intestine, which aid in digestion, but it does destroy the harmful bacteria present in the intestines.
Infected Wounds: Garlic can be placed on infected wounds as an herbal treatment. It should be mixed with three drops of water, rather than using it in raw form, as the undiluted juice can irritate the skin.
Digestion: Daily inclusion of garlic in your diet aids in eliminating any digestive problems. The herb assists in the normal functioning of the intestines for good digestion. Even swelling or irritation of the gastric canal may be rectified with garlic as a treatment.
What’s the ideal dosage of garlic for you to derive all its amazing health benefits? The University of Maryland Medical Center, recommends daily 2 to 4 g of fresh, minced garlic clove; 600 to 1,200 mg daily if using aged garlic extract; two 200 mg tablets three times a day if using freeze-dried garlic; 4 ml daily of fluid garlic extract; 20 mL daily of garlic tincture or 0.03 to 0.12 ml three times daily if using garlic oil.
Not all is good about garlic and it is certainly not for everyone. Always check with your doctor first and tell your doctor if you are using it.
With all the amazing health benefits of garlic, it will make you think again about ditching it because you don’t want bad breath–embrace garlic and perhaps carry some mints with you.
Glad to have you watching!
Good day and Good Health
