Garlic – what does it help and who should watch out for it?

Garlic is said to be an effective natural antibiotic, but also a Czech superfood. It is characterized by its taste, but also has a specific aroma. It is great for many delicious dishes and as a prevention against colds and coughs. It can even help with cleansing the body, lowering blood cholesterol, etc.

Garlic is an excellent helper for high blood pressure, while it can help lower blood sugar in diabetics. Someone cannot praise it for its antibacterial effects, while others consume it to boost immunity. In short, it has many positive qualities that make it indispensable.

Garlic contains many useful vitamins and minerals, such as B vitamins, vitamin C, potassium, iodine, calcium and many others. It can also be used externally for cold sores, warts or fungus.

We simply mash it, apply it to the wound, bandage it and let it work. It should be noted that mashed garlic is very strong and in some individuals it can be too aggressive, so we have to be careful and not overdo it.

People who have problems with the gallbladder or stomach must be careful with garlic. At the same time, this also applies to individuals who take blood thinners, as garlic can increase their effect in an unpleasant way. And then, of course, everyone with a garlic allergy.
