Garlic belongs to the onion family. Long used as a medicinal herb, it is one of the best supplements to boost immunity & encourage optimum health. Fresh garlic may be added to food or garlic oil may be taken in capsule form. It is particularly useful as it:
- Cleanses blood & helps maintain healthy bacteria (flora) in the gut
- Help to bring down fever
- Antiseptic with antibiotic & antifungal actions
- Tones heart & circulatory system
- Boost immune system
- May help reduce high blood pressure
- Antioxidant
- Decongestant
What's not to like about garlic? Well garlic has a strong odour which some people find off-putting but its health giving & preventative properties make it well worth suffering the antisocial effects!
I love it, here are a few links to my recipes using garlic from my Just Food blog. Enjoy!
