Garlic is among the few herbs that have a universal usage and recognition. Its daily usage aids and supports the body in ways that no other herb does. It is one of the most effective antimicrobial plants available, acting on bacteria, viruses, and alimentary parasites. The volatile oil is an effective agent, as it is largely excreted via the lungs. It is used in infections of this system such as chronic bronchitis, respiratory catarrh, recurrent colds, and influenza. It may be helpful in the treatment of whooping cough and as part of a broader approach to bronchitic asthma. In general it may be used as a preventative for most infectious conditions, digestive as well as respiratory. For the digestive tract, it has been found that Garlic will support the development of natural bacterial flora while killing pathogenic organisms. In addition to these amazing properties, it will reduce blood pressure when taken over a period of time as well as reducing blood cholesterol levels. Garlic should be thought of as a basic good that will augment the body's health and protect it in general. It has been used externally for the treatment of ringworm and thread-worm. 

A clove should be eaten three times a day. If the smell becomes a problem, use Garlic oil capsules; take three a day as a prophylactic or three times a day when infection occurs.
