GARLIC: SMALL BULB, BIG HISTORY
For centuries, garlic has been used in traditional medicine and cooking across cultures to support general wellbeing, digestion, and resilience during seasonal illnesses.
Scientific research suggests garlic’s sulphur compounds—especially allicin—may offer modest benefits for heart health, including blood pressure and cholesterol support. While not not a cure-all, and it shouldn’t replace medical advice or prescribed treatment, it is a natural herbal medicine that can be added to your diet for better health.
DID YOU KNOW? The allicin in garlic quickly breaks down to allyl methyl sufide (AMS) which is what is breathed out through your lungs, and creates garlic breath! AMS is an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and mild antimicrobial.
A tasty addition to a balanced diet? Absolutely. Just don’t forget the breath mints!
