Garlic: A Therapeutic Herb

Fresh, raw garlic, is one of  those foods, I think, you should always have available in your kitchen. I love garlic. I love it's flavor, aroma, and it's health benefits.  As the cold and flu season draws near, using fresh organic garlic in your cooking is a good way to increase the disease-fighting potency of your meals.

Garlic has long been used for it's therapeutic effects. Garlic is antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral. According to "Medical News Today", garlic reduces the risk for heart disease as well as osteoarthritis. The research organization, Cochrane Database, has apparently reviewed studies on garlic. They report that those who took garlic daily for 3 months had fewer colds than those who took a placebo. Also, they found that when one did contract a cold, it's duration was shorter for those taking garlic daily.  

To activate garlic's medicinal properties, the clove must be chopped or compressed, then consumed within one hour.
