GARLIC (ODOURLESS)
Garlic is a bulbous herb (Allium sativum), the benefits of which have been documented for several thousand years.
The Chinese started using it more than 3000 years ago as did the Ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. Its use was well documented in Middle Age England. Up to the end of last century garlic was the most widely used medicinal plant in the world.
The Benefits of Garlic
Garlic has been used medicinally for many years for such purposes as treating bites, tumours, wounds, headaches and heart disease and preventing infections such as the common cold.
Evidence to support the beneficial effects of garlic is still being gathered but is as yet not complete.
Cardiovascular disease - garlic appears to have beneficial effects on many risk factors responsible for cardiovascular disease.
Antimicrobial - garlic is currently under investigation with regards to antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral activity but current evidence is still limited.
Antioxidant - thought to exhibit antioxidant activity.
Properties
The main constituents of garlic include alliin, allicin, diallyl-disulphide and ajoene. However these compounds constitute only a small proportion of the compounds present in crushed, cooked and dried garlic. Many of these components exhibit beneficial effects.
Contra-indication/Precautions
