Garlic has long been a folk remedy to reduce the bodies symptoms to infection. Garlic (Allium Sativum) is a European bulbous herb of the lily family. The pungent, strong scented bulb, is composed of smaller bulbs called cloves. Garlic is used globally in cooking recipes.
Garlic was widely used in Russia and known as Russian penicillin. Researchers using garlic extract in a lab killed nearly one hundred percent of both human rhinovirus (colds) and para influenza three (flu) a respiratory virus. Hundreds of lab tests have shown garlic has strong antibacterial and antiviral properties.
Researchers have documented garlic's ability to augment immune function. Garlic stimulates the potency of T-lymphocytes and macrophages, key players in the bodies immune function. In the lab garlic extract prodded macrophages to generate more agents to kill unwanted microbes and tumor cells. Garlic has been categorized as a biological response modifier and is used as a pharmaceutical model for developing cancer treatments.
So when you feel a sore throat coming on eat some garlic. The home remedy for colds is to eat several cloves of raw garlic at the first on set of symptoms. Cut the garlic in chunks and swallow them like pills. If the garlic is giving you gas (flatulence) eat less of it. Persons who suffer from chronic infections (recurring yeast infection) try eating one to two cloves of garlic everday.
