Not everyone is a fan of this healthy miracle.
If you are, you’re ahead; if not, you should think about it as soon as possible. What’s more, the dreary autumn has already arrived. If illnesses start to creep up on you, try arming yourself with a natural pharmacy! After all, it will even protect you from vampires. That means it truly has supernatural effects.Don’t you believe it?
Where does it come from? That is not entirely certain, but probably from Siberia. For centuries it has been used to support immunity, vitality, even strength. It is also known as “Russian penicillin”.
Natural antibiotic
To some it is smelly and unpleasantly pungent, to others a tasty antibiotic, but it has its greatest strength in its raw state. It is precisely that smell, bothersome to many, that is caused by allicin, which garlic contains and which actually gives it these brilliant properties. Allicin is not really present in garlic as such; it only forms when it is “broken”. So swallowing a whole clove of garlic won’t mean much — it’s best to chop it, press it, or chew it well. Not only is it a strong antibiotic, it is also a powerful opponent to parasites, yeasts, viruses, and fungi.
What can it help you with?
During the current flu season, garlic is something you really must not be without at home. Do you have a blocked nose? Just take a deep breath of the smell of garlic; your nose may clear maybe even better than the fabled drops from ubiquitous ads, which are usually also quite addictive. If you have respiratory problems, the best way is to put a sliced clove of garlic between your teeth and breathe its aroma. The healing substances reach the lungs and immediately begin to work.
Garlic generally helps cleanse the body, and it is said to have anti-cancer and antitumor effects.
It also helps with acne — it reduces inflammation, can even completely heal problematic spots, and above all it cleanses.
It can also deal with fats, blood clots, the enemy cholesterol or blood pressure, … It improves circulation even to the mind and even helps lower blood sugar levels.
Warts or corns.
Anyone who has had the misfortune to get to know them well knows very well what a problem it is to get rid of them. Pharmacy preparations are not only too aggressive, but often ineffective. Try rubbing warts with garlic until they disappear, or cover them with it like this overnight.
How to eat garlic?
As we already mentioned, garlic should be eaten raw if you want to make use of all the good it offers. You shouldn’t overdo its consumption either. Also beware of old garlic, which you can recognize by the fact that it no longer has a fresh green sprout in the middle. While garlic adds an amazing flavor when cooked, it loses a significant part of its effects.
What could be better than garlic toast? Once someone has it, they probably won’t eat any other toast… If garlic breath bothers you (or your partner, classmates, or colleagues), a bit of milk should help.
And what about wild garlic? Its season isn’t now, but as soon as it arrives, find some time and go out to gather some. You’ll surely smell it before you see it.
