I have read that garlis is considered the most extraordinary of all the medicinal plant. It possess an excellent cleansing action. I personally know that its good for cold and coughs, and I have known people who take it to reduce their pressure it have a lot of medical use. I also drink it for tea and eat it raw.

Garlic is very useful, aside from its importance in all cuisine it can cure and heal different diseases. A snake bite or any other insect and animal bite can be cured by applying the juice of the garlic on the affected area. It can also lower blood pressure by eating garlic, my father always have garlic in his pocket to moderate his blood pressure and it is very effective. Garlic also can heal fever and flu by mixing it to lukewarm water.

I happen to really like garlic myself. I think that I eat it in my recipes when I can. It is not only delicious but like you say, it is very healthy for you. I have heard this information before about the good qualities of garlic and the benefits to our systems. I will continue to eat it and bake with it. Thanks for the information.
