Latin (botanical) name:
Allium sativum
Common names: Garlic, Poor Man's Treacle
Plant Description: Garlic has long, flat, narrow leaves. They are greenish-gray in color and grow to about 12 inches long and 1 inch wide. A round-stemmed flower stalk originates from the center of the plant and produces a ball-shaped, compact collection of white flowers that are sometimes tinged with lavender. The bulb (the only part eaten and the part used for medicinal purposes) multiplies during the growing season, producing highly flavored bulblets called cloves. Each group of cloves comprises a bulb and is wrapped in a white papery sheath. Some varieties have a reddish or purplish sheath. Garlic is ready to harvest about 6 months after planting when the flowers are fading and the leaves begin to turn yellow and shrivel.
Medicinal Properties &Uses: Garlic has a long history of traditional use as both a food and an herb. Its constituents include the sulphur compound allicin, ajoene, allyl sulfides, and vinyldithiins. Garlic has been the subject of research.
Dosage: 15-40 drops in water or juice, 2-3 times daily, or as needed. Shake well before using.
Cautions & Interactions: Do not take while nursing. Keep out of reach of children.
