How Garlic Works

There is a sulfur agent found in garlic's essential oils that makes it a potent disinfectant and a good defense for killing germs in the body. After garlic is ingested, it is absorbed into the bloodstream and then diffused through various organs. Garlic is rich in essential oils, whose principal active agent is allicin. This agent is responsible for the characteristic odor of garlic as well as the healing properties. Garlic also contains calcium, selenium , zinc and potassium. It helps keep blood clots from forming in the blood vessels, and from having plaque building up in coronary arteries.

I have mixed a jar of honey with pressed garlic. I stir it up each time before taking it and take a good spoon full each morning.

Garlic can possibly add more Wealth in the form of health to your life also.
