Thanks for the comments which have started to trickle in slowly.......
And I am quite aware of the fact that we cannot possibly talk everything about Garlic just in one
post. So...... we will take it easy and one use at a time.
Garlic has kept on fascinating and helping the mankind for a long long time and the history of its use as food and medicine can be traced back to Ancient Sumeria ( 3000 B.C.).
Garlic has been universally used in all forms of traditional medicine: Chinese, Ayurvedic, Unani, Naturopathy, European Herbalism and Contemporary Folk Medicine.
Scientific evidence now confirms traditional use, and accepts Garlic has extraordinary medicinal
powers. Like i have mentioned earlier, GARLIC is really the king of Food Medicine and it is truly a “Wonder Herb”.
Enumerating a few uses of GARLIC :
- Natural Antibiotic
- Antimicrobial
- Anti carcinogenic
- Cholesterol lowering agent
- Anticoagulant
- Immune Boosting
- Anti asthmatic
- Anti spasmodic
- Blood Detoxifying
- Diaphoretic
- Diuretic
- Expectorant and Decongestant
- Anti flatulence
- Anti helminthic
- Aphrodisiac.............................
Phew............... I am sure i must have left out a few of the uses already!!!
Anyway, i hope to further elaborate on each of the use one by one.
But I am sure you will wait for my next post...............
Bye and happy reading!!!!

Great... I was not aware that there are many such uses of "Garlic". Worth reading...
Is there any danger of consuming excess quantities of garlic unknowingly in a patient already on " blood thinners "" like aspirin with additive effects leading to bleeding tendency?
