Garlic – for Hypertension and Cholesterol

Herbal medicine attributes numerous therapeutic virtues to Garlic, some of which have been validated by scientific studies: this is the case of its antibacterial properties, thanks to which it shows antiseptic and antibiotic activity (particularly in the respiratory and gastrointestinal systems), and its antifungal properties (especially against Candida albicans). In addition, hypotensive, cholesterol-lowering, and antiplatelet properties have been demonstrated (an aspirin-like activity that reduces the risk of thrombosis and therefore heart attack). Garlic-based preparations also offer, thanks to their sulfur content, interesting antioxidant action through the inhibition of arachidonic acid oxidation. Supplementing one’s diet with Garlic is useful for disinfecting the intestines in fermentative dyspepsia and acute and chronic intestinal infections, and for supporting blood circulation while keeping the cardiovascular system in the best physiological and functional balance.
