Garlic is
the most powerful antibiotic cure nature has to offer. This unsuspecting herb
can be used to treat a number of heart and blood-related conditions, such as
high blood pressure or high cholesterol, and is even used by some to prevent
common cancers, like stomach, colon and even breast cancer. This is due to a
chemical in the garlic called allicin, the same element that makes the garlic
smell and probably the reason for the folk belief on vampires.
Studies
have shown that allicin can aid tremendously in weight loss and may even help
cure the common cold. Yet it is important to note that the wonderful powers of
garlic are optimized when the garlic is completely raw, peeled and crushed, and
when it is consumed only as a medicine. The
ways to use garlic to fend off real-life vampires like the flu and other
diseases:
Cold & Fever Cure
An
effective cold and fever cure is garlic tea. To make the tea boil some water
and crush 1-2 cloves of fresh garlic (peeled) into the bottom of the mug. Then
add the hot water, lemon and a bit of honey (to ease the taste) and drink it
all down at once. Repeat as often as possible until the fever or cold symptoms
subside.
Treat Skin
& Fungal Infections
To treat
skin or fungal infections, garlic can be used topically on a daily basis. Apply
a sliced of garlic to a wart spot regularly (about 2-3 times per day) and be
amazed at the improvement! The wart or corn may not completely disappear, but
any discomfort will subside.
Garlic as
an Antibiotic
As
mentioned above, in order to use garlic as an antibiotic, it is best not to
consume the herb regularly. Studies have shown that eating raw garlic at the
onset of food poisoning can kill off the deadly E.coli, Staph and Salmonella
bacteria. Chop up garlic and drink it in a tea, this time without lemon, and a
bit of honey, and the poisoning is sure to subside.
