6 Benifits Of Garlic

1. Boost your immune system 

Taking fresh raw garlic daily can boost your immune system with its anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties. Doing so is easy. Simply mince up 1 clove of garlic to add to a spoonful of honey (local, raw honey is best), and swallow it down. Be careful NOT to chew! It gets a little spicy hot if chewed. If you dislike honey you can add the minced garlic to a spoonful of mashed avocado or similar easy to swallow food. 

2. Treat a cold, cough, or onset of flu 

When you feel an illness coming on, take fresh minced garlic as mentioned above, however do this 3-4 times daily for the duration or until you begin to feel better. 

3. Treat a toothache 

Apply a crushed garlic clove to the affected tooth and surrounding area for immediate relief. Do not leave on for long. The garlic will irritate the surrounding gums if left on too long. 

4. Get rid of warts 

Apply a small amount of garlic juice to the surface of a wart, cover with a bandage, and repeat daily until the wart disappears. It is recommended to take care not to get the juice on the surrounding skin, as it may burn the skin. If this happens, just wipe it off before applying the bandage. 

5. Treat a vaginal infection 

Garlic kills yeast. At the onset of infection, insert one peeled garlic clove into the vagina before going to bed and remove in the morning. For easy removal, sew a string though the middle of the clove. For a more advanced infection the clove can be sliced in half; however it will most likely result in a burning sensation. Another option would be to make a few small slices in the clove with a fingernail instead of slicing in half. 

6. Garlic May Help You Live Longer

Effects on longevity are basically impossible to prove in humans.But given the beneficial effects on important risk factors like blood pressure, it makes sense that garlic could help you live longer.The fact that it can fight infectious disease is also an important factor, because these are common causes of death, especially in the elderly or people with dysfunctional immune systems.
