THE BENEFITS OF GARLIC PEARLS?

GARLIC ( ODOURLESS)

Latin name: Allium sativum.

The usage of garlic predates our written history, and its use is recorded as early as 5000 years ago in Sanskrit records.

Garlic was also a favourite of the Ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, and is still very popular today.

The name garlic actually comes from the Anglo-Saxon 'garleac' whereas its Latin name, allium sativum, is derived from the Celtic word meaning hot or burning.

The Benefits of Garlic

Garlic has been used medicinally for many years for such purposes as treating bites, tumour, wounds, headaches and heart disease, and preventing infections such as the common cold. Evidence to support the beneficial effects of garlic is still being gathered, but is as yet not complete.

Cardiovascular Disease - garlic appears to have beneficial effects on many risk factors responsible for cardiovascular disease.

Antimicrobial - garlic is currently under investigation with regard to antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral activity, but current evidence is still limited.

Antioxidant - garlic is thought to exhibit antioxidant activity.

Properties

Garlic contains an array of compounds, including the following:-

Allicin - is a pungent oily liquid that gives crushed garlic cloves their characteristic smell, and has been shown to be the antibacterial principle in garlic due to its active sulphur group.

Alliin - is stored within the garlic cell, and is separated from the enzyme allinase, which is responsible for its conversion into allicin. This is the reaction that takes place when garlic is chopped or crushed.

How to use Garlic effectively

Preventing cold and Flu Taking small amounts of Garlic every day tends to reduce the frequency of colds and flu.

Many people who have had one or two colds every year report that using Garlic prevents them altogether. Handy tip to stop colds and flu If you sense you have a cold coming on, take very large doses of garlic immediately and it often stops it altogether.

Once the cold has actually started,it does often seem as though it needs to 'run its course', and although Garlic will help, it will not be as effective as if you had taken it beforehand.

Using as a natural antibiotic:

Taking Garlic in large quantities can often have a similar effect to taking antibiotics without the side effects. A suggested dose would be to take 10 tablets/capsules of 2mg 3 times a day until the infection disappears altogether.

Each capsule contains 2 mg of Odourless Garlic

How to take Garlic

Garlic can be taken with food or on an empty stomach. If taking Garlic tablets or capsules with food, make sure that it is the type of food that you would have garlic with eg vegetables and proteins, but not fruit or confectionery, otherwise you will probably get indigestion.

Raw Fresh Garlic

Raw garlic has all the medicinal qualities still in it, whereas cooking it destroys many of them. There are many ways to eat raw fresh garlic.

Always prepare it fresh, just before you intend to use it.

If you are not used to eating garlic raw, then slicing it very finely and adding it to a small amount of olive oil tends to make it more easily acceptable.
