I know many people already knows the good benefit of Garlic to our health. Garlic is known as "Natures Antibiotic". We always add this when we cook because without garlic our food would be lifeless. Lol
The scientific name of Garlic is Allium Sativum. One of the most widely used herbal medicines in the Philippines. The Philippine Garlic variety is more pungent than the imported ones. Its medicinal properties has been known for a long time and has been specially proven during World War 2. Because of Garlic antibacterial compound known as Allicin, lives were saved by preventing wounds from having infection and fever develop into gangrene when the juice of Garlic was applied to the wounds.
Its juices inhibits the growth of fungi and viruses thus prevents viral, yeast and viral infections. Preliminary test also shows some positive in the treatment of aids.
I love eating garlic, but it is more effective when it is raw. Its really good for the heart and helps lower bad cholesterol levels.
