Garlic’s efficacy extends to the prevention and treatment of numerous infections by targeting the responsible pathogens:
Helicobacter Pylori (H.Pylori): Associated with digestive issues.
Candida: A yeast leading to fungal infections and skin disorders.
Staphylococci and Escherichia coli (E.Coli): Bacteria causing food poisoning and gastroenteritis.
Herpes, Influenza A and B:
Viruses causing skin and mucous membranes infections, and the flu.
Oral streptococci: Bacteria linked to tonsillitis and dental caries.
Vibrio, Rhinovirus, Trichophytons, Rotavirus, Scedosporium prolificans, Giardia, and Salmonella: Various pathogens causing diseases from cholera to food poisoning.
Utilizing Garlic for Health Benefits
To harness garlic’s medicinal properties, it should be chopped or crushed to release allicin. Consumption methods vary from eating it raw, possibly mixed with oil or honey, to incorporating it into salads or dishes (preferably adding it towards the end of cooking to preserve its benefits). While cooked garlic may lose some of its potency due to heat, it still offers significant health advantages.
External Applications and Additional Tips
Garlic can also be applied externally through poultices and garlic oil for targeted treatments. To counteract garlic-induced bad breath, chewing parsley, licorice, or anise can be effective.
