GARLIC (Allium sativum) aka - Clove Garlic, Poor-Man’s Treacle

Garlic is nature’s anti-biotic. It is effective against bacteria that may be resistant to other anti-biotics, and it stimulates the lymphatic system to throw off waste material. But unlike other anti-biotics, garlic does not destroy the body’s natural flora. It has the ability to stimulate cell growth and activity, thus rejuvenating all bodily functions. It opens up the blood vessels and reduces hypertension. Garlic can help lower the incidence of cardiovascular disease by reducing cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, lowering blood pressure, increasing immunity and reducing the blood’s clotting ability. Garlic is thought to stimulate the lymphatic system in ridding itself of toxins. Nutritionally, garlic has been found useful for glucose tolerance for both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, possibly by helping to reduce insulin requirements. Garlic rids the respiratory tract of phlegm and works to rid the bowels of parasites.
