Taking into account all these advantages, one may wonder how it can be used. Explanations.
HOW TO USE GARLIC?
To benefit from the medicinal properties of garlic , it is necessary to chop and/or crush garlic to release its active ingredient, allicin. Then you can consume it raw by periodically mixing it with oil or a little honey. You can also add garlic to your salads, grate it on your toast or incorporate it into your meat, but only a few minutes before the end of cooking. Cooked garlic has a poorer nutritional profile than raw garlic because heat neutralizes allicin and reduces antioxidant levels.
Compresses and garlic oil are recommended for external use.
THE ADDITIONAL COUNCIL
To reduce bad breath associated with garlic consumption, chew parsley leaves, licorice, or even anise.
WARNINGS
In excess, garlic can cause heartburn . Furthermore, topical application should only be done on the area to be treated, since garlic (especially raw) can be very irritating in healthy areas and can cause burns and allergic reactions. Garlic is not recommended for people who are receiving anticoagulant treatments and/or who have just undergone surgery.
Additionally, garlic-based remedies (oral or topical) are not recommended for children . Always consult your doctor before using any natural remedy.
