GARLIC OVERVIEW
Garlic (Allium sativum) is one of the most valuable foods on this planet. Amazingly, the role of Garlic in human history could fill a book. It has been used since Biblical times, and is mentioned in the literature of the ancient Hebrews, Greeks, Babylonians, Romans, and Egyptians. For more than 5,000 years, garlic has been valued for its healing properties and its ability to increase strength and energy. The builders of the three great pyramids at Giza in Egypt supposedly ate garlic daily for endurance and strength and to rejuvenate their bodies after their back-breaking work. As far back as the first century, Dioscorides wrote of Garlic's ability to clear the arteries. Because of its antibiotic properties, garlic was used to treat wounds and infections and to prevent gangrene during World War I. Garlic poultices were used to prevent wound infections from Roman times through World War I. In World War II this potent herb was called "Russian penicillin", which they used after running out of antibiotics. After World War II, Sandoz Pharmaceutical company manufactured a Garlic compound for intestinal spasms, and the Van Pattern Company produced a compound using Garlic, for lowering blood pressure.
Today, garlic is thought to help prevent heart disease, stroke and hypertension. The Europeans use the herb as an all-around treatment for preventing atherosclerosis, the cause of heart disease and strokes. Scientific studies found that certain forms of Garlic lowered blood pressure and total cholesterol levels. Early scientific studies propose regular use can help prevent cancer. In addition, its essential oils and other components have strong antibiotic, antifungal and antiviral properties. Garlic is an effective antibiotic when it contacts the tissue directly. Garlic has also been suggested as a treatment for asthma, colds, and diabetes. Garlic suppositories work well as a remedy for women experiencing yeast infections such as candida.
Getting the medicinal benefits of garlic is easy, because it makes a delicious seasoning for so many foods. Add chopped raw garlic to cooked meats, poultry and vegetables, or use it in salads. Immerse crushed garlic in oil for a dressing or pickle whole garlic cloves for a tasty condiment. Garlic can also be made into a salve to help ease neuralgia, joint pain, sprains, corns and other skin afflictions.
THERAPEUTIC EFFECT OF GARLIC
The sulfur found in garlic's essential oils makes it a potent disinfectant and a good defense for killing germs in the body. After garlic is ingested, it is absorbed into the bloodstream and then diffused through various organs. In this way, the skin, intestines, lungs and urinary system all profit from the highly effective healing properties of the garlic. Garlic is rich in essential oils, whose principal active agent is allicin. This compound is responsible for the characteristic odor of garlic, as well as for many of its healing properties. In addition, garlic contains calcium, selenium, potassium and zinc.
Eating a lot of garlic can give you bad breath and body odor because the essential oils are excreted through the respiratory system and skin. To lessen this effect, chew parsley, thyme or peppermint immediately after eating garlic.
MEDICINAL USES OF GARLIC
Garlic is useful for many diseases and illnesses, including cancer. It is a potent immune system stimulant and a natural antibiotic. It should be consumed daily. It can be eaten fresh, taken in supplement form, or used to prepare garlic oil.
Garlic lowers blood pressure through the actions of one of its components, methyl allyl trisulfide, which dilates blood vessels. It thins the blood by inhibiting, platelet aggregation, which reduces the risk of blood clots and aids in preventing heart attacks. It also lowers serum cholesterol levels and aids in digestion. Garlic lowers LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels and raises HDL ("good") cholesterol, thus helping to prevent the buildup of plaque within the coronary arteries. It also helps keep blood clots from forming in the blood vessels. Both actions protect against heart attack and stroke.
Garlic's antibiotic qualities have been used to great ulcers. For best results, eat 7 to 9 cloves of garlic throughout the day, either with milk or spread on bread. This large amount of garlic is not recommended for pregnant or nursing mothers.
Garlic contains an amino acid derivative, alliin. When garlic is consumed, the enzyme alliinase, which converts alliin to allicin, is released. Allicin has an antibiotic effect; it exerts an antibacterial effect estimated to be equivalent to 1 percent of that of penicillin.
Garlic is also effective against fungal infections, including athletes's foot, systemic candidiasis, and yeast vaginitis, and there is some evidence that it may also destroy certain viruses, such as those associated with fever blisters, genital herpes, a form of the common cold, smallpox, and a type of influenza. For athlete's foot, warts, skin infections and acne, place a freshly mashed garlic clove in a piece of gauze. Rub it over the affected area.
Garlic oil is good for the heart and colon, and is effective in the treatment of arthritis, candidiasis, and circulation problems. To make garlic oil, add peeled whole garlic cloves to a quart of olive or canola oil. Experiment to find the number of cloves that gives the degree of flavor you like. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly and rinse the garlic after peeling and before placing it in the oil. The peel may contain mold and bacteria that can contaminate the oil. Keep this oil refrigerated. This mixture will keep for up to a month before you need to replace it with fresh oil. Garlic oil can be used for sautéing, in salad dressings, and in a variety of other ways. If you find the odor too strong after you eat garlic, chew some sprigs of parsley or mint, or caraway or fennel seeds.
Fresh garlic mixed with honey is an effective home remedy for colds, hoarseness and inflammation of the throat. Use a garlic press or a mini food processor to crush 1 ounce of fresh garlic cloves. Mix the crushed garlic with 1 cup of honey. Let the mixture sit for 1 hour to infuse the honey with the garlic's essential oils. Store in a cool place. At the first sign of a cold, take 1 to 2 teaspoons of the mixture and then repeat after every hour thereafter. Also. should the cold get worse, this remedy can be effective for relieving severe chest congestion and painful coughing.
GARLIC DOSAGE INFORMATION
Eating two raw Garlic cloves a day are adequate for most purposes, but a standard dosage of Garlic is 900 mg daily of a garlic powder extract standardized to contain 1.3 percent alliin. When Garlic is crushed or cut, allinase, an enzyme, is brought in contact with alliin, turning it into allicin, which then breaks down into several different compounds. When purchasing Garlic, look for a 4 to 5 mg of "allicin potential" for best results. Garlic suppositories can be used for treating yeast infections. You can make the suppositories using a clove of peeled garlic. Wrap gauze around the Garlic and insert inside the vaginal cavity. Every three to five hours, replace with a fresh suppository, and repeat for three to five days until the infection is gone. Garlic capsules can be used instead of the suppositories to treat yeast infections as well.
An alternative to fresh garlic is Kyolic from Wakunaga. Kyolic is an odorless, "sociable" garlic product, and is available in tablet, capsule, and oil extract forms. See Garlic Supplements and Products further down on this page.
GARLIC SAFETY & INTERACTION INFORMATION
Garlic is on the FDA's "generally recognized as safe" list. The only common complaint in using this herb is unpleasant breath odor. Taking raw garlic in excessive doses can cause stomach upset, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, flatulence, facial flushing, rapid pulse, and insomnia. Topical Garlic can cause skin irritations that can become severe, so caution should be used when applying to skin. Garlic thins the blood so it is suggested you not take it prior to having a surgery, or while going into labor and delivery. It should not be taken with blood thinning drugs such as Coumadin (warfarin), heparin, aspirin, or Trental. Garlic could interact with natural products with blood thinning properties as well, such as Ginkgo and high dose vitamin E. It is presumed to be safe for pregnant women, except before delivery, and safe for nursing mothers.
GARLIC CULTIVATION
Garlic, a close relative of the onion, has been cultivated and prized since ancient times. Back then, it was used as an herb and medicinal plant by the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. Its healing values were recognized in a classic English Renaissance text on herbs, which noted that garlic "healeth the body extremely". Today's research has confirmed that garlic has many uses in addition to flavoring culinary dishes. For instance, it has broad antiseptic and antibiotic effects, reduces blood pressure and cholesterol levels and contains several anticoagulant compounds, which slow or prevent blood clotting. Garlic also helps to fight off colds and flu and aids in relieving indigestion. There is evidence that garlic may actually reduce the risk of certain cancers.
In the Middle Ages, garlic cloves were not used medicinally and in cooking - they were also considered a charm against witches and evil spirits. Their alleged ability to frighten away vampires is well known.
GARLIC CHARACTERISTICS
Garlic is a member of the lily family. The herb forms a round main bulb containing many smaller bulbs known as cloves. The bulb is covered with a white to light violet, papery skin. Stems that grow as high as 2 feet sprout from the main bulb. Flowers surrounded by a leaf appear on the ends of the stems in the months of July and August.
Garlic plants prefer a lot of warmth and sunlight. Garlic should be planted in humus-rich soil supplemented with compost. The stalk grows 1.5 to 2 feet before blooming.
GARDEN CARE
Gardeners find that garlic is very easy to care for and is subject to very few diseases or pests. Water garlic regularly if there is no rain to ensure that the cloves mature well. After the leaves start to turn yellow, stop watering and bend the plant over at ground level.
Garlic prefers a warm climate, but it can also be grown in protected areas in cold winters. If you want to grow garlic mixed in with other crops, avoid putting it near members of the cabbage family or legumes, such as peas and beans. Instead, garlic loves to be planted among carrots; plus it will repel carrot rust flies. Or try growing garlic near tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes, head lettuce and spinach. When planted under roses, it is believed to keep aphids away.
Growing Garlic Outdoors
1. Prepare the bed in August or September. Loosen and smooth the soil, adding organic materials, if needed. Make the rows 4 to 6 inches apart.
2. Plant the cloves 1 to 2 inches deep in rows, with the points of the cloves facing upward.
3. Garlic sprouts quickly. Water regularly if the weather is dry so that the cloves develop well and the bulbs can ripen.
4. After the ground freezes, apply 3 inches of mulch over the plants to prevent the ground from heaving and pushing the cloves from the ground.
5. In the spring when the weather warms, remove the mulch from around the plants. Water regularly if there is no rain. The bulbs should ripen by the end of June or July.
HARVESTING & HANDLING
Harvest garlic bulbs beginning in September and during the months of September and October, once the leaves turn yellow. Dig up the bulbs and allow them to dry in a warm, humidity-free spot for a few days. Form bunches or braid the leaves and stems together and hang them in a dry airy place with no chance of frost.
PROPAGATION
There are several varieties of garlic available from mail-order seed or herb companies. Plants may be propagated in early spring or late autumn in well-drained, enriched soil. When you find a garlic variety that flourishes in your garden, reserve enough cloves from each harvest to plant the following year. Leave harvested garlic outside for a few days to dry, and then store it in a cool, dry place.
You can use the little bulblets, or secondary bulbs, that form inside the flower's sheathlike leaf to grow more garlic. However, 2 years will pass before any garlic bulbs can actually be harvested.
SUGGESTED USES AFTER HARVESTING
Garlic is used raw or cooked to flavor soups, sauces, salads, and meat dishes, lending many Mediterranean and Balkan dishes their characteristic aromas. Garlic-infused vinegars and oils are also popular. For medicinal purposes, the cloves are primarily taken internally to counteract high blood pressure, high cholesterol, arteriosclerosis and gastrointestinal complaints. But garlic can also be applied externally to the skin.
5 or 6 bulbs of garlic
1 small ginger root
1 tablespoon salt
1 bay leaf
4 peppercorns
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup white wine vinegar
1. Peel the garlic. Peel and slice the ginger.
2. Place 1 quart of water in a saucepan. Add the salt and bring to a boil. Add the garlic and simmer 3 to 5 minutes; drain well.
3. Place the garlic, bay leaf and peppercorns in a small jar with a screw-on cap.
4. In the same saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of water with the ginger, sugar and vinegar. Boil the mixture, and then immediately pour it over the garlic. Store the closed jar at room temperature for 1 week.
KITCHEN HINTS
When Buying Garlic: Choose solid, firm bulbs. The outer skin should be taut, unbroken and white or violet in color. Avoid bulbs with soft or damp spots.
Storing Garlic: Store garlic in a cool, dry place. It will keep for several weeks. A ceramic garlic keeper is best for storage because it lets air circulate.
Braided Strands of Garlic: Braided strands may look attractive, but unfortunately most of the bulbs are likely to spoil before you get around to using them.
Garlic Cooked or Ages: Garlic loses its antibacterial effect when it is cooked or aged for more than 24 hours. Therefore some of the garlic you eat should be raw. Finely chopped raw garlic to make it more palatable, and eat it with other foods, such as salads.
Garlic-In-Oil-Preparations: Garlic preserved in oil can cause botulism if not prepared properly. When you make homemade garlic oils, refrigerate them and keep them no longer than 10 to 14 days. Commercial products are safe when they contain an acidifying agent, such as citric or phosphoric acid.

High Allicin Garlic, Odor Free, 500 mg, 60 VTabs
The health benefits of garlic have been known for thousands of years. Used by the Romans, Egyptians, Chinese and much of southern Europe as medicine and food, garlic has been documented throughout history as a valuable herb. This is because garlic contains the sulfuric acid alliin, which when activated by the enzyme allinase is converted to allicin, the component that gives garlic its traditional medicinal effects and its pungent odor. This means that the more allicin that is in the garlic, the more effective it is. It is often recommended that raw garlic or garlic supplements be used instead of cooked garlic because heat inactivates the allinase, stunting the conversion of alliciin. This High Allicin Garlic provides a minimum of 5 mg raw allicin per tablet.
