Garlic has antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal activity. Used to
help prevent heart disease (including
atherosclerosis, high cholesterol, and high
blood pressure) and cancer. Also helps inhibit
vascular calcification in patients with high
blood cholesterol. Garlic also has other
beneficial properties, such as preventing and
fighting the common cold and many use garlic for
hoarseness and coughs. The Cherokee also used
it as an expectorant for coughs and croup.
Garlic is also alleged to help regulate blood
sugar levels. Regular and prolonged use of
therapeutic amounts of aged garlic extracts
lower blood homocysteine levels and has shown to
prevent some complications of diabetes mellitus
(people taking insulin should not consume
medicinal amounts of garlic without consulting a
physician). In 1858, Louis Pasteur observed
garlic's antibacterial activity, and it was used
as an antiseptic to prevent gangrene during
World War I and World War II. More recently, it
has been found from a clinical trial that a
mouthwash containing 2.5% fresh garlic shows
good antimicrobial activity. In modern
naturopathy, garlic is used as a treatment for
intestinal worms and other intestinal parasites.
Garlic has also been used as a remedy for
infections (especially chest problems),
digestive disorders, and fungal infections such
as thrush.
