Few days ago, I was hit by the cold bug again. My acupuncturist shared a wonderful and effective natural home remedy for cold/flu bouts. I chewed a clove of fresh garlic that night and repeated it the next day and the next day, I woke up with no more nose dripping! My nasal stuffiness was gone!
Most of us may have heard about the wonders of garlic. A garlic clove contains a pungent compound called allicin which has natural antibiotic properties. Here are some wonderful benefits of this blessing from mother nature:
- Aids general immunity.
- Aids in the prevention of heart disease.
- Helps thin the blood, reduces clotting and helps control blood pressure and poor circulation.
- Cleanser of the digestive system.
- Helps cure flatulence or bloating.
- Acts against inflamation and infection, including colds, coughs, respiratory problems, bronchial disorders and catarrh.
- Kills internal parasites and is an excellent internal anticeptic.
- Prevents cancer-cell growth due to sulphur compounds in garlic
- Reduces low blood sugar
- Lowers the risk of stroke
- Promotes good circulation
