GARLIC

Garlic has been used medicinally for many years, for purposes such  as treating bites, tumour, wounds, headaches and heart disease, and helping shorten the duration of the common cold.

Garlic contains an array of compounds, including the following:-
Allicin – is a pungent oily liquid that gives crushed garlic cloves their characteristic smell, and has been shown to be the antibacterial principle in garlic due to its active sulphur group.

Alliin – is stored within the garlic cell, and is separated from the enzyme allinase, which is responsible for its conversion into allicin.  This is the reaction that takes place when garlic is chopped or crushed.
