I have eaten it all my life, but I discovered how healthy it was when my daughter started to use it in her baby´s formula when the baby had a cold. It was like miracle.

I have heard latelly that garlic is a wonder as health goes. But I have used it all my life just for its wonderful taste. I use it daily in all my dishes and also in the appetizers I make. A crushed clove or garlic does wonders to a common mayo

Thanks webcoach. I know some medicinal properties of garlic. In my place old people teach us that it is good in controlling hypertension. Best eaten raw and swallowed directly. The other thing I know about garlic is that it is good for toothaches, a little portion goes into the cavity and it numbs the nerves thereby stopping the pain.

It helps blood circulation, it is good antibiotic, it can be used too for rheumatism and any muscle pain. It is indeed miraculous just like any other herbal medicines. In fact, I really love herbal medicine...
