Eating
one clove of raw or cooked garlic a day can protect you against stomach and colorectal
cancers. Garlic has been used since the days of the Egyptians to treat wounds, infections,
tumors, and intestinal parasites. Garlic is considered by many to be the best healing herb
in nature. It displays a host of benefits --- it lowers high blood pressure, cholesterol,
and fat in the bloodstream. Considered the "wonder-drug"
of the herb kingdom, Garlic is now one of the most popular and well-researched herbs. Herbs are plants which possess some of the qualities of food and
some of the properties of drugs. A perfect example of this is the well-known culinary and
medicinal herb Garlic (Allium sativum).
Garlic is good for you:
Garlic is good for you! This much we know. But there's a healthy controversy about some
garlic-related health claims. We know it's an antibiotic, an anti-viral agent, probably an
immune system enhancer. Other studies show garlic can reduce LDL or "bad"
cholesterol.
