health benefits of garlic

Garlic's medicinal value is largely due to its highly volatile essential oil containing allium, also referred to as allicin. When garlic is absorbed into the digestive track, it circulates through the blood stream and is excreted mainly by being blown off through the lungs which leaves its odor on the breath. Even when rubbing garlic oil on the feet it will be carried through the lungs and leave its calling card on the breath.

The virtues of garlic are so wide-ranging and impressive that it might be thought that they were invented to fulfill an impossible dream. Nevertheless, they are constantly being confirmed by modern medical research throughout the world as the establishment becomes more and more fascinated by this humble and maligned plant. It is its various effects on the health and constitution of the blood stream that are probably the most valuable.  We will just look at at few of its anti-toxic effects.
