Garlic is believed to ward off demons. From Chinese vampires to Western Draculas, garlic's anti-demon property is more famous than its ability to heal. Garlic's strong odor may be a concern for people with bad breath, but its health-giving and preventative properties make it an important herb.
An inscription on the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt mentioned garlic as one of the foods that its builders ate. During World War II, the wounds of British soldiers were treated with garlic. Garlic is also referred to as the Russian penicillin because the Russians flew 500 tons of garlic to Moscow in 1965 to fight a flu epidemic.
In northern China, where garlic production is high, people have the lowest mortality from stomach cancer in all of China. The quartile of Chinese people that eat the most garlic, onions, and other allium herbs have a 40 percent lower risk of stomach cancer than people in the lowest quartile of intake.
In short, garlic is one of nature's best natural remedies.
Few people consume garlic daily. Consider adding more garlic to your daily diet. If you want to enjoy the benefits of garlic but hate its strong smell, take garlic supplements. If you are brave enough to eat it raw, first make it "bleed" by either cutting it or scratching the clove's surface. The benefits are minimal if you eat a clove without the inner part exposed.
