Garlic, there's more to it then you think.

I'm quiet interested in herbal medicine and also surprised about the healing 'powers' of some of the daily products we use. Garlic is one of them and it doesn't only make your food taste nicer it also has some pretty good medical remedy for different aliments.

I love to use garlic when I'm cooking and think it is a perfect flavouring enhancement to your food. It's only a shame it has such a bad side effect. It doesn't make your breath smell that good afterwards and you can even smell it the day after. Still it doesn't stop me using it. Maybe people don't like the taste when it's raw but when you cook the garlic it becomes this delicious creamy smooth flavour.

What I love about garlic is that it's a natural remedy for lots of aliments. In studies it has shown that garlic has been found to have antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal activity. It has also shown that it helps to treat kidney problems, sore throat, high blood pressure, circulations problems and colds and flu. They say the best way is to eat the garlic raw to get the best effect but it doesn't really taste that good. Luckily you do have garlic capsules that will make it a lot easier to take.

I normally use the capsules when I have a sore throat or a flu/cold and I don't really have prove that it works but I do feel better after using it for a few days. I like the feeling of that garlic is antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal and it just helps you in getting better.

As I love using garlic in my food and cooking it's also great using it in a medical way. It was proven in studies that it helps in your health and I use it in a few cases when I'm feeling ill. I can't really stand the raw taste of the garlic but as long as it helps I don't really mind. I feel it's much better then the normal drugs and medications and it's a good alternative.
