That garlic is medicinal was already known by generations before us. That is why it has been cultivated for thousands of years. It has strong antibiotic and antiviral effects. It can also be successfully used for other ailments for which we would otherwise take drugs made from chemical substances. For example, it can regulate high blood pressure, clean vessels of deposits, affect digestion, and strengthen the immune system. And that is not all. As research into its effects continues, we will discover other things where garlic can be used instead of artificial medicines.
What substances does garlic contain?
Garlic contains primarily sulfur compounds. According to carried-out research, more than 100 compounds. Furthermore, one clove contains 5 mg of calcium, 12 mg of potassium, and also germanium, which helps our heart with a regular rhythm. For some people this element is so strong that they cannot consume raw garlic. So it is enough if you put it in your mouth and suck on it for at least 10 minutes. Or slice the clove into thin slices and put it on buttered bread instead of salami. That way it can be consumed more easily.
When is it best to consume it?
For those who can manage it, the best is to consume it immediately in the morning on an empty stomach. Not only will it disinfect the oral cavity, where bacteria and viruses multiplied overnight, but it will do the same in the stomach, and because the stomach is empty, all the substances contained in the garlic will be absorbed and utilized. Anyone suffering from some stomach condition should be cautious before they start eating it.
What can it treat?
Besides helping against colds and high blood pressure, it is the best helper in the fight against inflammations. Anyone suffering from arthritis could do no better; also fungal diseases, HPV, or bacterial infections. It also helps with lung diseases, bronchitis, pneumonia, and cough. You can see that its use in medicine is enormously wide. It is certainly much cheaper and less dangerous for the human body than chemical preparations, whose use may help us, but only by removing the consequences of the disease. They almost never cure the symptoms. Moreover, they are expensive, their production burdens the environment, and when their residues after ingestion end up in the water, they can pose a threat to nature. As we write, you can try consuming it with food so the body gets used to the influx of all the substances. If you can manage that, try tasting it on its own, then eat something afterwards. And finally it will not be a problem for you to crunch a clove on an empty stomach in the morning, and you will soon feel its effect.
