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).
