Garlic (Allium sativum)

Garlic is a really great addition to every meal. Don't be frightened off by the inescapable odour, its worth it.

Garlic can stop blood clots forming and even break down ones that have already materialised. Helping in the fight against heart disease.

To stop the rather pungent smell of garlic chew a sprig of parsley after eating it.

The heart loves Garlic. It has been well researched and documented that Garlic lowers blood pressure and cholesterol levels. It adjusts the levels of fats in the blood keeping the ones that don't clog up the arteries.

Garlic in its raw state is a powerful antibacterial and anti-fungal agent. People have, in history, used it to rub onto wounds to disinfect them and stop the onset of Gangrene. - Don’t use it raw though, it may burn you!

If eaten in its raw state it can protect and strengthen the digestive tract.

It is also said to disinfect the lungs and the skin as well as urine.
