Many
hundreds of years ago people thought that garlic had the magic ability to cure
illnesses and they even used it during incantations.
The magic
power of garlic is derived from the anti-bacterial phytoncids that kill most
bacteria. Sometimes garlic is even called a natural antibiotic. And the
powerful antibiotic allicin is made of garlic. Also it has essential and fatty
oils, inulin, organic acids, mineral salts, vitamin C and vitamin group B. It
is very rich in very important micro elements, like germanium and selenium.
Germanium stimulates your immune system and selenium prevents tumors. Also,
garlic is a great antioxidant because of the combination of selenium, vitamin C
and zinc.
Garlic
stimulates your appetite, increases the secretion of bile and helps digestion.
It has an analgesic and calming effect on your stomach (Take 2-3 pieces of
garlic a day with each meal if you get colitis or stomach bugs.)
Garlic
has a diuretic effect, increases the activity of your sweat glands, prevents
the accumulation of blood clots and helps with sclerosis.
Garlic
phytoncids have the ability to slow down the activity of some tumor enzymes.
This is a good way to prevent cancer.
Garlic
has an anti-toxic effect and has been used as an antidote for hundreds of
years. It enlarges blood vessels, lowers your blood pressure, and supports your
heart muscle and your brain cells. It helps with diabetes because garlic lowers
your blood sugar level.
Garlic is
recommended if you lack vitamins or have a weak immune system.
Eating
garlic every day will prevent viruses. Garlic gruel will help with festering
wounds.
Garlic is
not recommended if you have kidney problems, a stomach ulcer or duodenum ulcer,
or epilepsy. You should not eat it in large doses for a long time because
garlic will suppress your stomach micro flora. Some people can get an allergic
reaction to garlic, like dermatitis. But usually it only happens if you eat a
lot of raw garlic.
The scent
of garlic on your breath is not pleasant for people. But it does not mean that
you should not eat it at all. Just eat some parsley, lemon skin, bread crust or
walnuts after you eat garlic.
Garlic is
used a lot in folk medicine. There are probably hundreds of home remedies based
on garlic. In this article I suggest that you try a great garlic extract remedy
that will prevent getting viruses this winter.
Cut 40 g
of garlic into fine pieces, put them into a glass bottle and add 100 g (3 oz)
of vodka. Cover the bottle well and keep it in a dark place for 10 days. You
can add some mint to make the taste and the scent more pleasant. Take 10 drops
of the extract 2-3 times a day 30 min before each meal. By Yulia Berry – For further
