Garlic is an herb with remarkable medicinal properties. Garlic is a cardiovascular tonic, said to lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. It's also a powerful germicide and may protect against some carcinogens. It's better for you in its natural state, raw or lightly cooked rather than dried as powder or in capsules. Enjoy the smell, taste and healthful effects of the whole, fresh herb.
