Garlic

There's no one thing that garlic does extraordinarily well (except for, perhaps, when you fry it up with some nice extra virgin olive oil, basil, oregano, a little romano cheese...). No, the nice thing about garlic is that it does dozens of things.

So if your only concern is getting over that cold or flu, perhaps look elsewhere. But if you want help with the cold or flu, plus want to drop your blood pressure a few points, plus give your liver a hand, plus reduce heavy metal toxicity a bit, etc., garlic is your herb.

Bear in mind, garlic pills really aren't that concentrated. If you can handle chewing up a few cloves of the fresh stuff, you'll be doing every bit as well.

Garlic may increase the production of vitally important antioxidant enzymes that hold back the activity of many cancer and tumour-producing substances. Some people have gone so far as to suggest garlic can prevent cancer, especially of the digestive system, and prevents certain tumors from growing larger and reduces the size of certain tumors. And that a daily intake of garlic can prevent stomach cancer, influenza, and many other illnesses. Some claims get a little carried away: "....Garlic ..maintains healthy reproductive organs in both sexes and protects against cancer, a benefit recognized by Hippocrates in the fourth century B.C."

It is thought that it keeps cholesterol in your bloodstream from oxidizing and damaging the lining of your blood vessels, which helps prevent the formation of plaque, high blood pressure and contribute to choronary disease. Garlic should be thought of as a means to maintain cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range - rather than a corrective therapy. Garlic helps dilate blood vessels and reduces the risk of blood clots, thus reducing the possibility of strokes and thromboses. (It may not be good for hemophiliacs). An average dosage of two to three capsules a day is needed to make a dent in blood pressure.

Garlic when formulated as a capsule to lessen its pungent smell, and contrary to popular opinion, doesn't appear to diminish its health benefits. It is the best selling herbal supplment in the US.
