Garlic is a powerful herb.
It has been used for coughs, colds, toothaches, dandruff, and many other symptoms.Research conducted has shown that garlic lowers blood sugar, eliminates lead in the body, has detoxification properties, strengths the immune system, has anticancer properties, has antibacterial and anti-fungal properties.
Garlic also has sulfur containing compounds such as allicin (also responsible for the potent odor of garlic), diallyl trisulfide and others that create a therapeutic effect. Sulfur compounds are especially important because they have anticarcinogenic, anticlotting, anti fungal, and antioxidant effects! Wow that’s amazing
The best way to take garlic is raw. When garlic is cooked it losses some of its therapeutic effects.
Research suggests that 3 cloves of garlic are recommended per day. If you don’t like the odor of garlic here’s a trick wrap parsley around the garlic clove and feed it into the juicer, the chlorophyll from the parsley helps absorb some of the garlic odor. Or if you’re not using garlic in your juice, add it to your foods and chew some parsley afterwards to help with the garlic odor. My personal favorite is eat garlic with your friends, then you’ll all have garlic breath!
Best garlic to buy is fresh and firm garlic. Avoid garlic that has evidence of decay or mildew.
