Health Benefits of Garlic

History
The potency of garlic has been acknowledged for more than
500 years. In the ancient times, garlic was used as a remedy
for intestinal disorders, flatulence, worms, respiratory
infections, skin diseases, wounds, symptoms of aging, and many
other ailments. Through the middle ages into World War II,
the use of garlic to treat wounds surfaced repeatedly. It was
ground up or sliced and was applied directly to wounds to
inhibit the spread of infections.
To date, there are more than 3000 publications from all over the world that have
