Garlic has long been considered an herbal wonder drug, used to protect against plague
by monks of the Middle Ages to treating the cold and common flu today. Hippocrates
used garlic vapors to treat cervical cancer, and garlic poultices were placed on
wounds during World War II as an inexpensive, and apparently quite effective replacement
for antibiotics, which were scarce during wartime.
Modern science is beginning to substantiate the medicinal properties of garlic.
Studies have shown garlic can control acne, suppress the growth of tumors, and is
a potent antioxidant good for cardiovascular health. Other studies show garlic can
reduce LDL or "bad" cholesterol and is a good blood-thinning agent to avoid blood
clots that could lead to heart attack or stroke.
It is generally agreed that the stronger the taste of a clove of garlic, the higher
the sulphur content the greater the medicinal value. Some people have suggested
that organically grown garlic has higher sulphur content, and a greater benefit
to health.
Allicin and diallyl sulphides are the two main medical ingredients that produce
the garlic health benefits. Garlic contains only 4 calories per clove. You can get
