Garlic As Medicine

I am doing this project because I think it would be interesting to

figure out different things about medicinal plants and, I decided to try to

focus on garlic because, for reason it is a medicinal plant and there is a range

of reasons why garlic is important to us but there are

things we need to be aware of though.

For about 5000 years garlic has been known to reduce blood cholestrol

levels. Garlic tastes very hot, dry, and pungent. The cloves (a part of the

garlic plant) are used mostly for infections, especially for such symptoms as:

chest problems, some digestive disorders, blood sugar levels; and so, can be

helpful in later-onsets of diabetes. Sometimes, the cloves are efffective for

some types of skin infections and acne. Garlic is best used if it is fresh.

Things to be aware of about garlic: Garlic acts as a natural heating

element inside the human vody; and can irritate the stimach. Do not take garlic

in theapuetic classes during pregnacys, and lactating mothers. Garlic can also

cause stomach problems, such as heartburn.

Garlic’s strong aromatic action helps cleanses the body’s lings, and

skin. To help reduce the strong odor of garlic; it has been suggested to eat

gresh parsly. To elimate the odor of garlic from the mouth (breath).
