How To Grow Your Own Garlic

The following video demonstration teaches us how to grow garlic at home. Garlic is one of the most used natural health remedy because of its proven anti bacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties. Garlic is natures' penecillin. As a member of the onion family garlic is also rich in antioxidants which help destroy free radicals in the body-particles that can damage cell membranes and interact with genetic material. 

Garlic is regarded both as a member of the allium family just as onions are and also as a lily family member. So garlic will grow where onions and lilies will grow.

Medicinal Uses of garlic



Garlic has been known to have been used for thousands of years. The ancient Egyptians used it and soldiers used it in the second world to prevent gangrene. Uses of garlic are many and varied and this article will try to present some of those uses.

According to University of Maryland Medical Center website, garlic is rich in antioxidants which help destroy free radicals in the body-particles that can damage cell membranes, interact with genetic material, and possibly contribute to the aging process as well as the development of a number of conditions, including heart disease and cancer.

The most beneficial component or rather products of garlic is allicin which has been for its antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral properties. However, the body does not effectively absorb allicin, Allicin is the result of the conversion of alliin an odourless sulfur-containing chemical derived from the amino acid cysteine.

Garlic is natures penicillin .. it has many uses and it helps to boost the immune system .. add it to your diet on a regular basis to prevent colds and flu and if you have a cold it will help you get rid of it .. it can be used to help cure yeast infections as well.

I have just read about a small child of 4 had bronchitis.  The doctor prescribed several antibiotics, and none of them worked.  The child's mother was at her wits end, trying to help her daughter to heal.  A neighbor finally told her, to rub raw garlic on the child's feel each night, and to put socks over the garlic.  The mother did this, and by the second day, her 4-year-old was in full recovery.  This is one of the uses of garlic that show that garlic works. I have used it when I have a cough or flu and it has worked in treating my infections. Garlic works.
