GARLIC- health benefits

Book Abstract by: sunee    

Original Author: suneetha
Garlic is an age old medicine that can cure and prevent most of the disease. Garlic has a high
source of calcium, phosphorus, iron, minerals, essential vitamins, iodine, chlorine etc. Garlic has an antibiotic property that could destroy several germs in the respiratory track and chest. But unlike other antibiotic drugs, garlic does not lower the body resistance by destroying the antibodies in the body. Instead it strengthens them to attack the invading germs with its rich supply of vitamins.
  
HEART DISEASE AND ARTHRITIS: Garlic lowers the cholesterol level in the blood. It also lowers the high blood pressure due to its hypotensive properties. It gives strength to the heart and heart muscles by improving the blood circulation
Since the functions of heart and lungs are interconnected, a daily intake of at least one clove of garlic prevents and cures any lung and heart disease.
  
VALUABLE FOR DIGESTIVE SYSTEM: Anything from bad breath, swallowing difficulty to bad breath to regular bowel movements – garlic prevents almost all digestive disorders. It expels worms and improves digestion. It is a good tonic for stomach and intestine.
 
WONDER DRUG FOR VARIOUS PURPOSES: Garlic is highly alkaline. Its anti-inflammatory properties relieve swelling, stiffness and pain in joints. Hence it is valuable in arthritis. It prevents teeth and gums from decaying. It is a natural sex tonic. It is used in various skin diseases. Garlic even destroys lice in the head and helps grow hair on baldy patches.
  
HATE NOT GARLIC FOR ITS SMELL: If we have tolerance towards its pungent odour, it will prove to be a potent weapon in our hand against any illness. After the intake of garlic, a clove or cardamom can be chewed to relieve the odour from the mouth.
