It can easily be said that garlic possesses quite a long list of medicinal properties. Besides being an excellent microbicide, disinfectant, decongestant, and a pituitary gland stimulant, it is also effective in the digestive process and rich in iron.
Garlic Healthy properties
It can also be used to treat insect bites and circulatory problems, along with these following uses:
- Liver: Crushed garlic, or garlic juice, are effective in activating optimum liver function. Without proper liver function the entire body and all its processes are affected. If you experience bad morning breath or crusty eyes, weakness in the eyes, or if you’re constantly tense or irritable (frequently getting upset) or suffering from headaches, this could be a problem with your liver function. Try eating one clove of garlic with a touch of lemon juice every three days.
- Asthma: Shortness of breath produced by asthma can be combated with a simple recipe: crushed garlic combined with one tablespoon of honey and two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar.
- Lungs and Respiratory System: Garlic produces a powerful decongestant effect and is helpful in fighting colds, sinusitis, phlegm producing coughs, and excessive phlegm (caused by high toxicity in the body).
- Blood: Garlic purifies and refreshes the entire circulatory system.
- Arteries: Garlic lowers blood pressure and prevents hypertension.
- Kidneys and Bladder: Consuming crushed garlic on an empty stomach cures nearly every illness of the kidneys and bladder.
- Digestive Tract: Garlic cures constipation and disinfects the large intestines of toxins.
