Have you ever heard about wild garlic? In 1996, wild garlic was proclaimed as the medicinal plant of the year in Europe. The famous scientist and naturalist Dr. Kunz says that it’s the best plant for bowel, stomach and blood cleansing, and one of the most healing plants in the world.
Wild garlic is rich in essential oils, vitamin C and carotene. It also contains allicin that has powerful, antimicrobial properties.
Wild garlic can help you reduce high blood pressure, reduces cholesterol levels and it’s a powerful antioxidant. It can also help you defeat cold since it has antibacterial properties. Wild garlic can help you improve your blood flow and can help you keep your heart healthy. It has antimicrobial properties and it can prevent infections and make your wounds heal faster. Eating wild garlic can detoxify your organism, fight respiratory diseases such as bronchitis and asthma.
Wild garlic is a natural antioxidant and can really boost your immunity. It is really effective against bowel parasites and it can improve your digestion and bowel movement.
Not only it’s great for your body, wild garlic is amazing for your hair too. Washing your hair with wild garlic can prevent hair loss. Mix some wild garlic oil with nettle shampoo and wash your hair with that mixture twice a week. This will definitely help you reduce your hair loss.
The fresh garlic can be kept in refrigerator for several days. The dried or cooked wild garlic loses its healing properties.
Unfortunately, you can`t find wild garlic throughout the whole year. If you can’t find fresh wild garlic, look for wild garlic tincture.
