Garlic is the most powerful natural antibiotic cure. This simple  herb can be used to treat a number of heart and blood-related conditions, such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol, and is even used by some to prevent common cancers, like stomach, colon and even breast cancer. This is due to a chemical in the garlic called allicin, the same element that makes the garlic smell and probably the reason for the folk belief in vampires. 

Studies have shown that allicin can offer tremendous aid in weight loss and may even help cure the common cold. Yet it is important to note that the wonderful powers of garlic are optimized when the garlic is completely raw, peeled and crushed, and when it is consumed only as medicine. 

 Cold and Fever Cure

  Garlic tea is very effective to cure and fever. To make the tea, boil some water and crush 1-2 cloves of fresh garlic (peeled) and place them at the bottom of the mug. Then add hot water, lemon and a bit of honey (to ease the taste) and drink it all down at once. Repeat a few times a day until the fever or cold symptoms subside.

 Skin and Fungal Infections

For skin or fungal infections, garlic can be used topically on a daily basis. Apply a slice of garlic to a wart regularly (about 2-3 times per day) and be amazed at the improvement. The wart or corn may not completely disappear, but any discomfort will subside. 

Antibiotic

 Garlic is best to consume as an antibiotic  regularly. Studies have shown that eating raw garlic at the onset of food poisoning can kill off the deadly E.coli, Staph and Salmonella bacteria. Chop up garlic and drink it in a tea, this time without lemon, and a bit of honey, and the poisoning is sure to subside. 

Allicin  as nedicine for those who can't stand its smell

If you are not a big fan of garlic or its taste, there are some allicin supplements that can be store-bought and taken as needed. It is important to remember, however, that the potency of the allicin depends on its preparation, and it can change into a different chemical quite quickly. For this reason, it is best to buy the most natural version of an allicin vitamin where it is available, or stomach the taste of raw garlic only when you are sick. 

 Bug Repellent 

  Smearing garlic over the skin not only prevents bacterial or fungal infections, but can also ward off mosquitoes and ticks quite effectively. One village in India uses only garlic to deter the deadly malaria mosquitoes and can attest to the natural and harmless effectiveness of garlic. All that remains is to overcome the sharp smell!

For Asthma and phlegm

I drink garlic 3 cloves crushed  with 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder, in 1 1/2 glasses of milk, i.e. roughly 375 ml of milk. I simmer the mixture for almost 15 minutes, till the garlic is cooked well, then drink adding little sugar, as hot as possible. It helps for my asthma and to lessen the phlegm greatly. Actually within 2 days of drinking this last thing at night, one can feel the difference in the amount of phlegm that comes out, cough also lessens.
