Garlic contains copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, sulfur, zinc, and vitamins A, B1, B2 and C. Garlic can detoxify the body and protect against infection by enhancing the immune system. Garlic lowers hypertension (high blood pressure), helps heart disorders and arthritis, treats asthma and cancer, aids circulation and digestion, helps with sleep problems and ulcers. Treats yeast infections. Its proponents claim it is good for virtually any disease or infection. Aged garlic (Kyolic) is probably the best form to take. Some people get an upset stomach from too much garlic used in cooking or eaten raw. Leaves a characteristic mouth odor which can be handled by buying odorless garlic.
