Garlic is used to support the immune system, assist the respiratory system as a expectorant, enhance circulation and for blood pressure. It can also helps to repel unwanted biting insects.
The Greek physician Hippocrates, (circa. 460-370 BC), known today as “the father of Western medicine,” prescribed garlic for a wide range of conditions and illnesses. Hippocrates promoted the use of garlic for treating respiratory problems, parasites, poor digestion, and fatigue. It is also known that garlic was used as a performance enhancing tonic by Ancient Greek athletes.
