Garlic

People have known for centuries that garlic has many healing properties and has been used throughout recorded history for its medicinal (as well culinary) uses. 

Infections

Garlic contains allicin which is a powerful antibiotic and a potent agent that helps the body to inhibit the ability of germs to grow and reproduce. Garlic has been used effectively against a whole host of bacteria, fungus, and viruses. Some studies suggest that garlic is an even more powerful germ-killer than either penicillin or tetracycline.

Liver Ailments

A healthy liver maintains blood flow and circulation, breaking down nutrients from foods and distributing them to other body organs. Garlic contains allicin which is a sulphur-based compound needed by the liver for effective detoxification. The antioxidants in garlic help keep toxic substances filtered by your liver from reaching other organs. Garlic has been shown to help the liver rid the body of mercury, food additives, and the hormone estrogen.
