We all know that garlic comes in small cloves and produces a strong taste and smell. However, when it comes to its myriad of health benefits, you will find just how potent it truly is.

While used for thousands of years dating back to when the Pyramids were built, garlic had been the go-to for treating a variety of ailments. Some of which included:

  • Bronchitis

  • Tuberculosis

  • Hypertension

  • Liver Disorders

  • Worms

  • Diabetes

  • Fevers

  • Dysentery

  • Respiratory Problems

But why was garlic so popular for treating these diseases you may ask? It has to do with its many healing properties. Garlic is known to be:

  • Antibacterial

  • Antifungal

  • Anticancer

  • Antiinflammatory

  • Aphrodisiac

As evidence, during a scientific study by the Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, garlic proved itself to be 100 times more efficient against the intestinal infection caused by Campylobacter bacterium than 2 common antibiotics.

Final Notes

With that, it is unfortunate how the more time has passed, the more people have steered towards the use of OTC (over-the-counter) drugs instead of effective natural herbs and spices produced by the earth—as our ancestors once did. While doctors and modern medicine have proven to be essential in our lives, what we simply ask is: In the case of a cold, why not make some garlic tea instead of taking pills that only mask the symptoms?

Thank you for sticking around and we hope you have a wonderful rest of your week!

See you next time!
